Negotiate well when starting a new job (If you haven't find a new job and negotiate well). Do great work. Use the extra time to invest on yourself: read, exercise, learn new skills, etc. You'll be happier and more successful in the long run.
You can claim that's BS or not, but, you really need to bring more to it than "nuh uh."
Re: negotiating. You negotiate your comp once, it takes 1 hour maybe. Compare that to the effort it takes to maintain a fragile career based on lies.
The premise here is that you can stand to benefit from lying and stealing. What is there to engage with about that? Of course it’s true, but you weigh that against the negative consequences of your deception being discovered.
If you're not doing these two things, you may not be lying or stealing, but this submission advocates for doing these two things.
Further, if you set expectations low and you work for me, you will be fired. I expect it’s similar many other places. I’m an engineer, I know what 40 hours of effort looks like.
