Right, if you're being a dick then sure. I'm advocating for not being one in the first place. That's the challenge. If you can't meet that use keycards instead

Right, if you're being a dick then sure. I'm advocating for not being one in the first place. That's the challenge. If you can't meet that use keycards instead of keys, voip instead of real phones, lock file cabinets, I mean go all the way. Corporate America loves pretending. Pretending you're part of the family and then treating you like you're trying to rob the place at the drop of a hat. That's the messed up thing. Be consistent and don't be fake. People can deal with you for being overly formal and paranoid but probably not for being a phony backstabber, that's how you grow haters. The hardest thing for a brand to shake off is a bad reputation, whether they justly deserved it or not. You don't want haters in the Internet age.
