You're trying too hard to rationalize away personal problems and your inability and/or unwillingness to address them.
The opposite of disagreeable is not "kissing ass". The opposite of disagreeable, to start off, is not being a total asshole. No one's technical prowess is impressive enough to ignore the fact that they are completely insufferable. A project survives extra weeks or even months, but a team does not survive an eggeegious team member who makes everyone around them miserable.
Take a long hard look at yourself before throwing blanket accusations at anyone and everyone around you.
As the saying goes, "if someone is an asshole, they're an asshole, if everyone is an asshole, you're the asshole"
- danaris 4y ago"I do not hold all the exact same beliefs as you" is not at all the same thing as "I am a disagreeable person." "I will say yes to absolutely everything you say" is not at all the same thing as "I will do a good job." There are absolutely far too many workplaces where you are expected to kiss ass to be hired or to progress. Personally, I know that I would never feel OK working there, so I don't see the point of trying to pretend I'm an ass-kisser in interviews. I actually am an agreeable person, overall; I just want to find a place to work that will be OK working with me, not with some extremely different false face I have to spend a huge amount of energy putting on every day just to get paid there.
- ahMath8 4y agoThat’s not an unreasonable take when it comes to companies. Missed calls, days to hear anything, weeks of back and forth, constant apologies, spaced out mgmt, PMs, euphemisms, platitudes, a whole bunch of typical humans nitpicking every sentence and syntax structure, unpaid wages… it’s rampant across society and we all keep accepting it. You’re turning this into a blame game on one person when there’s plenty of anecdotes, legal cases, and data to show that company’s are full of assholes.
