I loved playing mind games with all my bosses. It was the highlight of my life to make them aware that "this thing was 7 months in preparation" and I lured them exactly where I wanted. Did I got in hot waters because of this? Definitely!. Was it worth it? Fuck yeah, it was. I don't regret a single thing though. As a good professional I knew I could get hired by their rival(s) the very next day if it came down to this. But funny thing, never happened, because they knew that as well. And the circle started again with the next mind game ;)
