The art of sycophancy is a lost skill that every office drone must learn to master.
It's the ability to nod enthusiastically while secretly seething, all while maintaining a veneer of fake interest.
It's a delicate balance of flattery and backhanded compliments, all while avoiding actual human connection.
It's a subtle dance of implied threats and veiled insults, all while maintaining a veneer of politeness.
It's a delicate balance of tone and inflection, all while avoiding actual confrontation.
It's a game of 'I didn't mean to,' all while secretly plotting your revenge.
It's a subtle game of manipulation and misdirection, all while appearing benevolent.
It's a delicate balance of guilt and blame, all while maintaining a veneer of innocence.
It's a game of 'I'm doing this for your own good,' all while secretly benefiting from the outcome.
