When I first started as a gov employee I was told I was too honest and I needed to fix that if I expected to advance.
Lol.

If you were truly TOO honest, you would have told 'em that you didn't give a shit about what they thought.

That is exactly what I told them and it got me in a heap of trouble. Seems it was two members of the board if supervisors that wanted me to 'exaggerate' a bit on my reports to the state.
They couldn't fire me without exposing their dishonesty, but they did maneuver me out of that job. I came to work every day for two months with no job to work and insisted they give me work to do. I think they thought I would give up and disappear, but I needed the health insurance and wasn't about to leave when I had done nothing wrong.
I'm still here.... Those two board members are not.

I kinda look at it like a concealed weapon.

It's a great thing to have, just pray that you never really have to use it.

Because you're gonna be sorry, even if you win.

Honesty is only an asset if everyone around you reciprocates.
Reminds me of Billy Joel's lyrics
"Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue"

But then I went to school in India, so I may be scarred. :)
