The entire business world in a nutshell

You could go on a two day offsite, with Margaret the facilitator, do some fancy team building exercises and learn "valuable business ethics skills". Or, you could realise the entire business world is a system of scratching backs for mutual benefit or gain.
If I work through half a lunch break, the boss doesn't have a problem with me taking 5 minutes for a smoke in the afternoon. Take that project home and complete it over a weekend, not claiming expenses or overtime. The next sick day you have to take will be fine with anyone above.
Just make sure you scratch the boss's back first. Never end up owing anything to your boss - that's the most vulnerable position to be in. Ever. OK maybe there are a few worse situations including public toilets.
Edit: Yay for me not using spellcheck.
