Has to do a work training today that was all about sharing our chief values and attributes—while I don’t have a cutthroat corporate job, I instinctively mistrust these activities as a trap. You can’t answer with authenticity; you have to pick something that fits a Useful Work Persona that makes you seem essential and productive.
Anyway, I had fun picking out the very worst options. Imagine going to a workshop with all your coworkers and your boss and announcing that your primary values are POWER and WEALTH and LEISURE and PRIDE.

“where do you see yourself in five years?”
