[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m in govt and I’ve found that the people who are most politic/want to get ahead do adopt a very bizarre corporate persona. It’s one of the reasons I’ve stayed at my lowish level, although certainly not the only or most important reason. It’s like they couch everything in the same faux niceties and adopt the same ways of addressing people (as folks or y’all). So many words to say one thing. I usually just respond in normal speak when I’m addressed this way. [/quote] I relate to this. The agency directors I’ve worked for are bland, measured and seem to have one set of emotions—not too happy, just pleasant, never angry, sad, or even overly concerned. Very blah, talk in cliches. I promoted up but realized I could never get to their level because I didn’t want to learn this skill, if it’s a skill, or I just don’t have the innate personality for this. [/quote]
