These things can be just as much of a pain in the ass for managers as they are for the people who report to them.
More than agreed, which is why I think that most of the advice here that not to pretend to be an enthusiastic gobbler of whatever corporate drivel is being passed around is certain career death is, shall we say, somewhat overblown.
As a frequent underling and sometimes boss I have never expected or valued or even trusted anyone who did nothing but toe every line, even imaginary ones, and never offered any dissent.
But I don't doubt the lackeyism advocated by the majority here has served the advocates well in their own jobs, because I suspect more bosses are just like them than not.
So- point conceded,... but really?
