What >>19714698 said. Your coworkers are in direct competition with you for promotions. Don't reveal your power level to them act as normal as possible and befriend your managers, if you don't you aren't getting promoted.

>> No.19714793

>>19714665
Just conform to NPC thinking (progressivism) and never, never, never, never, never tell them about your power level.
Don't be a sperg and be professional, don't give them reasons to persecute you, do not talk about imageboards and do not use them while working.

Just be yourself.

You have to meet with them after work if you don't wanna be that weird guy. It's basically a necessity if you wanna advance in your career.
Just pretend to be friends with them but never reveal anything potentially damaging about yourself.

It will be odd when they notice you don't share anything personal

>> No.19714893

>>19714854
If everyone is sharing personal stuff you have to do it as well, just make up a lie or something that can't be verified by them.
Or share real stuff if you are a normalfag.

>> No.19714915

What will you be doing?

In general, everyone has a different personality at work.
You're nicer, more polite, watch what you say, etc.
Get some garbage normie hobby on the weekends to talk about when tards ask you what you did
If you do drugs, you do not mention this
If you drink alcohol, you say it's only when you're not working the next day

>befriend NPC co-workers
I would rather shitpost on /biz/ than got to the bar with my beta NPC co-workers(unless there is a clear benefit, plus I don't go out of my way to drink). My managers love me and always vouch for me, but I would fuck them over in a heartbeat if it had benefited me. I was already invited to apply for a promotion that i'm not qualified for, and my manager who's been there for over 2.5 years with a worthless geology degree and student debt is seething.

just show up on time, work hard and only call out if you’re literally too sick to work

be nice to everyone - you’re there to make money. i will be fake nice and conversational with people i really don’t like just because you never know what role they may be in in the future

>only call out if you’re literally too sick to work

This. You may be able to get away with one fake call off about once a year or so but everyone always notes when you take time and if you take too much you become "that guy". Also if anyone says "I'm getting fat" never agree with them. I went through 3 very unpleasant months for being too autisticly honest.

It’s called knowing how to tall, you tell them half truths or lie. I’m personally able to make NPC’s yap about themselves for the entire conversation. They love it and they love me. I hate them.

Alternatively talk very vaguely about your female High school best friend as if she was your ex gf and as if it all happened later and was a serious relationship. That way you have a persona to build your story around.

If they inquire further just say you don't want to talk about her anymore.

I don't know where you work, but not only does conversation have to be impersonal, you have to stick to the script. Tomorrow I will be asked about my weekend. It will have been "great" even though everything is fucking closed. I have tried deviation from the script before and it was a bad idea. Everyone must be an NPC at work. It's like a tacit agreement.
