It absolutely infuriates me that having high ethical standards makes me a sucker.
Frankly, at this point the only thing stopping me from saying “fuck it” and starting to blatantly lie and cheat to get ahead isn’t even that it’s “wrong,” but that I’m just too damn stubborn to be a “reasonable man”!
You don’t need to cheat, just never do this bullshit of “go above and beyond”. Do what you’re paid to do, no more no less. That’s what I do. They ask for more, I tell them to pay me more.
Man, fuck me. And I’m out here struggling

Ends meat? Did you take this from “make ends meet”?
Nah, he’s hustling for that well done end piece on a prime rib
English isn’t my first language. So, not sure how to say it, but I know you know what I meant.
I thought maybe it was something I hadn’t heard before. Humorous misunderstanding though.
I’ve always thought that it meant “putting food on the table”. Until the time when you replied, then it made sense.
