    I fucking hate politics so much…

    There’s a guy in my team. I need to push him into a more advanced role. Because he deserves it, and because otherwise I might lose him. I brought him in from another team where things were going bad. Real bad. Turns out, all he needed was a human working with another human, not an type 1 cunt demanding output from a walking, breathing toolset. He already fits and fills that role within the team, but I need to make it official. Better pay, more perspectives. I know I’m gonna get cockblocked by the fuckers who still hate him for the wrong reasons. Career reviews are at the end of the year and I already dread it. I need to get involved in politics and I’m terrified of it.

      Politics is a nice word made up to make convincing (or manipulating) others to take up your perspective sound nicer. A silver tongue is a hard earned but quickly lost skill. It sucks but this is now part of your job. Hope you started with or put some points into charisma.
