everyone says “form a union” or “quit your job”. weak aura. the real move is psychological warfare. yesterday my manager asked me why I missed the deadline. I simply looked at him, blinked slowly, and said “what deadline? you’ve been in a coma for 3 years, Richard. please wake up.” he started crying. I took his wallet. I’ve been studying applied workplace sociopathy and mind control tricks from howiconvincedthem.com, and honestly, if you aren’t using dark behavioral psychology to make your middle-management boss question their own sanity, you are leaving money on the table. next week I am going to use an identity-value flip tactic to convince the CEO that I am actually his father. wish me luck.
I can really do this with my boss. He is so disorganized and bad with time management that he misses things in slack all the time. So I can just say I missed that message… are you sure you sent it. And he really doesn’t know if he did.
