LAMP for Your Productivity

TOPIC: Honesty and Sociopathy Go to Work

Merlin and Dan talk about the cultural divide between you and your work. Coping with work is a little like being a sociopath so you better make sure you're taking away the right lessons and being honest about the right things. Anything else is a little dishonest.

You don't need to quit your job, but you made want to at least resign your certainty.

Nice!™
