I prefer to be ethical and tell the truth but many times i have found out that the truth hurts too much and ends me up on the bad side of coworkers or in the unemployment line. I dont intend or want to hurt people, but the hardest lesson i am sometimes still having trouble with is when to just STFU and stay off the radar, when my intent is to help, i only end up hurting myself.
For the most part I could care less what people think of me, but in order to stay employed sometimes it is best to not say whats on your mind even if you are certain you are correct...sad but true
