Totally agreed. Capitalism is just a game of competition, and if you want to win the game you should take all advantages that you have. Pretty much everyone else you're competing against will be doing the same. I know a guy who worked for a prestigious accounting firm and was the dead-honest type. Everyone was inflating their billable hours to clients, except for him. He was 100% truthful on his hours and made sure not to waste any client money, but still got just as much work done as his colleagues who were inflating their hours. Guess who was the first target during layoffs? If you don't want to play the game that's totally fine, but I wouldn't be surprised if giving yourself a disadvantage didn't hurt in the long run.
