Is it bad to do selfless things for selfish reasons?>previous jobs in the past, I always get a bad reputation from being fucking awkward in conversations, and I end up getting fired or quitting>new job opportunity I got last February. Had an inside recommendation, but this job is a white collar office job instead of working pizza delivery for the millionth time>don't wanna fuck this one up, so I am masking 24/7 no spaghetti will fall out of my pockets this time>I have created a character to be for 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week. I always wear business professional, and I always talk professionally>even censor myself by saying "gosh darn it" and "son of a gun", etc>I say good morning to the mail room as I walk past every morning so they have a positive association with me>I frequently stay a few minutes late to help a last minute client, but only so managers can see me doing so. Also to sneakily get some OT hours.>One of my coworkers in another department mentions in a conversation I walk past that she loves the cinnamon twists at taco bell>I make a plan to specifically go to taco bell for lunch, and then come back with a meal that has cinnamon twists>claim I'm "not particularly fond of" cinnamon twists (I actually love them) and offer them to anybody, but make sure I'm standing near her>a bunch of minor stuff like that, but I always go above and beyond specifically for my peers to recognize me as doing so>it's fucking working>got a one dollar raise during a performance review a few days ago>HR manager did nothing but sing my praises the entire time, I'm told to watch over the other people in my group to make sure everything is done right since I am making the least mistakes out of the group>she says "I wish I had a team of just clones of you" to me>I'm also all but guaranteed another dollar raise next review as long as I "keep being me">those words kinda got to me though>she doesn't know the actual me though
>>84721101>keep being meI have heard that line verbatim when I was doing something similar to you and I deliberately nuked that job after that.
>>84721101https://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2009/04/how_to_destroy_a_marriage.html>You have another bad day at work, you come home and you're in a bad mood. Your wife/girlfriend asks you how your day was and you snap at her, "Leave me alone, I'm tired.">Yet then the UPS guy comes to the door and you are instantly nice, bright, warm. "Hey, thanks, have a good one buddy! Go Raiders!">You'll say it's an act, but the other way of looking at it is that you think it's worth faking politeness to the UPS guy, but not to your family. See? Does your family deserve less than the UPS guy?Above makes a similarly related point, if you dont get it I can clue you in on the rest.
>>84721143>you do [thing you have never done in your life] and think [thing you have never come close to thinking]>this is because you secretly feel y and you are a narcissist>*aimless cuck/porn/mass media rambling*>aren't you so shit and i so provocatively insightful?you have now read every tlp/blackbeard articlefuck that retard
>>84721177Yes, don't do bad things.
>>84721143I'm a little high rn but I get the gist. Idk man, I just don't feel like I am (Insert my full legal name) when I'm working. It just feels more closely to when I was in theater in highschool
