I'd probably never go the dirty way ...

How about merely wet? (come to work sleepy -- because you're worried about your job)

I believe the OP situation is one of those when in rome situations -- light duty dirty play is the norm; all the bosses assume everybody plays, so there is no downside career-wise

Taking the high moral road can be enormously rewarding psychologically .... but if the choice is between feeling bad, or worse, feeling bitter ... there is no real choice but to join the romans or quit

you can live with less money or another job; safe-guard your sanity and self-esteem , no job is worth your mental health

Best wishes to the OP
