Re^2: Bad conscience (when in rome)

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

Why didn't you quote the following clause as well? but it might depend on what's at stake Moreover, this is one of the things that can differ with the culture. I come from a post-communist country, and at my family, staying honest was considered the ultimate commandment. My parents and grandparents spent years in prisons, were not allowed to study or do the work they understood, because they did not do as the Romans. Go figure. لսႽ† ᥲᥒ⚪⟊Ⴙᘓᖇ Ꮅᘓᖇ⎱ Ⴙᥲ𝇋ƙᘓᖇ	[reply]
