You described the advantages of exploiting you for your boss. Your colleagues will only treat you worse because of these points. And you think because of your university someone have to like you or what?
I would like to believe that my production output would speak for itself in an environment where supposedly we should care about that. But like you said, honest work will only get you treated worse; natives around me are surfing the benefits of the state and laughing away the days, while I cry myself to 4h of sleep everyday. So yeah, you’re right, it’s a war. I just wish it wasn’t.
And nobody has to “like” me, where did I even hint at that? I’m talking about professional respect; you know, the same I give to the people around me.
