Living in New York, for about 30 years, has taught me many things.

(1) The amateurs, know all of the rules.  The professionals, know all of the exceptions.

(2) It is not a matter, of right or wrong.  It is, who makes the more convincing & persuasive argument.

(3) Aggressiveness (also disguised as assertiveness), is treasured over passiveness (also known as a weakness).

(4) Christian charity, is a characteristic of the weak.  NYC is based on financial Darwinism.  Christian charity, is also defined, by the Tax Code.

(5) Getting your fellow employees, to do your job description, is classified as delegating your job responsibilities, and a good management trait.  

 (6) Whatever "work product" that you create, belongs to your company (or boss), and that person will become the author or creator.

(7) Any employee, who can intimidate fellow employees (without physical or verbal threats), into doing any ethical or unethical job description, and not have it in writing, is an asset.
