He didn't say that, he just said it's antagonistic by nature, nothing like what "you" accuse him of saying. That's fine, you know chess is like that, in fact any game where the goals are diametrically opposite. And they aren't completely diametrical, they ways in which they are not diametrical are just boring, nobody cares, yeah work hard yadda yadda, yeah be polite and show up on time, nobody cares. But like don't stop there! Work like fuck! Be gentlemanly or an assertive woman, or some analog that suits you! And show up on time like the bill from the cemetery! I did these things and didn't get promoted, but well no one time I was promoted actually, looking back...well but you gotta do it without counting the cost, real enthusiasm, a real work ethic! And knowing full well your employer might equally be, as an employee is out to leech, out to leech his employees.
