A friend is experiencing some office politics. I shared this

People demanding that you are obedient to them (and requiring you to be a mind reader) is human nature.

If you can allow them to be human AND stick to high road 99.99% of the time, you will impress yourself.

If you can allow them to be human AND get more shit done than they get done, then you will impress yourself AND them.

you say "tin pot dictator" like it is a bad thing!

A saying a friend told me, during a very difficult situation, comes to mind:

Time Vindicates All Things

Your list of points to consider works in that direction. Sometimes it takes a week and sometimes it takes a year and sometimes it takes a lifetime.
