Employ or feign total ignorance of operations so no one can expect a raise, because the boss/manager doesn't even know what you do here. Assume loyalty only from those whom you have directly hired; remove all those who predate you. Make a strict deadline, but merrily add features at your whim, when the deadline is missed, then act astonished "how could this have happened?" Elicit sympathy from your underpaid minions for crashing your Porsche again while auto racing.
