so... I find myself in the uncomfortable position of having to consider brown nosing as a real strategy at work. (Culinary)I consider myself a brutally honest person so this will be a difficult transition to say the least ... thoughts?

[Jstatham1227]

Good luck dude. Hard for me not to take **** from people personally. lel

[Fidite Nemini]

Brown-nosing whom?

 

Boss, colleagues or customers? If the first and required to keep the job or proceed up the payment ladder, I'd consider scouting job alternatives. The latter two are an almost unilaterally unavoidable evil.

[Voxr]

Don't.

Depends on whom you're brown-nosing.

[L. Han]

Brown-nosing to get through things? Sometimes you gotta weigh things against each other. Just depends on what you think is the least crappy outcome.

 

But on the sucking part, I don't know. But please do tell me more.

Oh, I forgot to add one crucial detail: I loathe few things as much as job hunting

*shiver*

[Bison]

You wanna be a wh*re?

 

Then suck up to your boss.

I'm one stubborn mother******.  I'm not kissing anyone's ass. If anything, I'm telling people to kiss mine.

Get ready to do some boot licking.

[Melra]

I never do it, no matter how much easier it'd make things. Besides where I am from, people can often see through such things and it isn't appreciated. People with a backbone and honesty get far.

[mousestalker]

Don't brown nose. Do be polite. Manners go a long way.

[L. Han]

^What if your boss likes it when you talk dirty?

[Degenerate Rakia Time]

dont brown nose and dont be polite, tell your boss to **** himself and beat the crap out of him before quitting

[Johnnie Walker]

Just try to show more ambition and motivation.

I'm not a fan of boot lickers tbh. The kind that if the person they're worshiping wants three wise men flown in from Jerusalem, they get it.

[CassandraSaturn's Ring]

So is it somethng like management is getting rid of x amount of staff, and you think brown nosing will save you?

 

Unless you have a family to provide for, your honour should come before any job.

To expand on what I said above, think long term.

No one likes a flatterer, especially co-workers. Being polite will smooth over rough bits. And later on in your life when you are forced to look for another job, for whatever reason, the people you have worked with or for will be your best resource for landing a new job. They will often prove to be a great help for landing better jobs when you are already employed.

When employers are looking for new workers, which do you think they will want, the guy who was a pain in the butt or the guy who was a joy to work with and who knew his job? Your present co-worker might very well wind up the head guy at another job. When he goes to hire, you want him to think well of you.

Being a suck up may help out in the short term with a stupid boss, but it will cheese off your co-workers and damage your employability in the long term. It's far better to work hard, help people out and not be a jerk.

be true to yourself, and be a good person. And let the chips fall where they may.

Do fake smiles and phony hellos only if the safety of your work depends on it, but not more than that.

Doing otherwise would mean you're subtly treacherous and evil.

meh, being evil is good, being fake is not
