In the
Workplace:
Buck-passing
"When
people aren't watching you, they cannot see your misdeeds and
thereby encourage them. The amount of guilt you feel when
you are provoked into wrongdoing by lack of oversight is
entirely up to you, but it might be minimal. The person
who is supposed to be watching you might deserve most, if not
all of the blame.
Likewise,
when that person fucks up, his overseer is responsible.
The blame-game ends somewhere - maybe among the clouds - but
don't let it start with the finger pointing at you.
Always
keep your blaming finger point-poised and well-exercised.
Personal responsibility and self-deprecation are for sissies,
people who took wedgies in school and get bum-rushed by
broads. Be ready to convert your point-finger into a
righteous fist as needed to defend your innocence - especially
when you are guilty of 'lack of oversight'."
