Welcome to IWETHEY!

New I couldn't do that. You're brave.

"All around me are nothing but fakes
Come with me on the biggest fake of all!"

New Nah
Brave is doing the "right" thing when there is
a significant personal danger associated with it.

I will often do the stupid thing (as shown in "Open Forum"),
or the bluffing/blustery thing, but ONLY when I hold almost
all the cards. It's taken me 6 years to get to this position,
and I plan to use my power for good, since I'm a techie
who gets rewarded on accomplishments, and opposed to a manager
to gets rewarded by manipulating people. And I'm a "lifer",
or as close as you get in a company today, which means the
top people (owners, ceo, cto) don't question my motives.

I truly believe the downside of screwing up this project is
major damage to the company, which could include massive
layoffs. While my ego doesn't accept the fact I could be
one of them, anything is possible, so I will allways push
to doing this project right, no matter what toes I step on.
And I'm known for that attitude generally, so I'm trusted.

They key is to accept confrontation as inevitable, and use
it to your advantage. I've just started reading a book
on negotiating, and it explains it's version of the various
personality types, as it relates to negotiation. I am an
aggressive problem solver, which directs my behaviour in
most cases. I'm comfortable with that, so I am typically
happy with the outcomes it produces.

Note to gfolkert:
100% true.
Later on in a meeting with the CEO, as we realized
the true cost to the company of this project, I
was about 95% supportive of him. And they did ask,
directly.

No gloating, at least not person or in front of anyone he knows.
New My former job
at the lawfirm, I was there for four and a half years, and they kept promising me to get promoted, but they never did anything about it. Always someone else got promoted. Usually the idiots making the messes for me to clean up got promoted. Why is it that management sometimes decides to reward stupidity? Why does favoritism run rampant?

I am free now, to choose my own destiny.
