1. I use gossip to my advantage to create opportunities for
wrong conclusions to be created. Those who don't gossip won't
suffer any harm and won't draw wrong conclusions. This ensures all
the good guys will be safe and only the players and gossipers will
suffer my evil plan.
2. Evil people like to look at appearances, use that to your
advantage (see Ferrari dealership scene in "Gone in 60
seconds")
3. Never infiltrate with the intention to initiate change from
within the ranks (Independence Day infiltrate with virus idea). It
NEVER works in real life and will create dire consequences for
yourself. NEVER EVER do that. NEVER!!
Infiltration is ONLY for information gathering only, never for
contamination and conversion.
4. Bosses, even the CEO never hold 100% power contrary to common
perception. This might take some faith for those who never work in
Management or have access to Management. Bosses don't like each
other, and can be afraid of their employees too (especially bad
bosses) - be aware of this and the reasons why.
5. The "bad guy" boss is many times the good guy. The nice guy
boss is usually the bad guy. Applies to bosses only, not to rank
and file. Although there are exceptions, the 80/20 rule applies
here. If you want to strategize something using mathematical
probabilities, and with incomplete intel, this principle will come
in handy.
6. Know this: Lunch is never just lunch. It is politics in
progress. It may not be a deliberate attempt, even good people are
not consciously politicking when doing this, but this is how
"wolf-packs" are formed organically. Don't be careless on this,
because evil people will exploit this.
7. Most people will never do this, but I personally always try
to pick a side when someone is quarrelling. I do this without
getting involved by being like a commentator in a boxing match. I'm
a spectator, but I also create impressions through commentary, also
exposing some of my belief system and values for people to see, so
they know my position - I pick a side subtly. It makes the
political game easier for me, in my experience. It keeps evil
people on their toes. It disrupts their assumptions and upsets the
balance somewhat. Evil reigns when good people keep quiet.
8. Bullies are bullies because they got bullied. Find out who is
their bully is (if that bully is outside work - like a spouse) find
their fears.
9. Use the principle of the counter-punch. Traditional principle
is: when you attack, you cannot defend, when you defend, you cannot
attack. The weakest moment is always the moment of attack.
Base your offense off on the evil person's offense. Not only is
it effective, this ensures you stand on a high morality ground. Do
the unexpected - Bully the bully. This is 2 fold, it discourages
the bully from initiated further attacks, and you borrow the energy
of the attacker to turn it against them.
10. Never suffer in silence, and pray to God for strength, daily
guidance and wisdom if you are spiritual.
