I behave the same way I did in high school. I don't curry favor or try to hang out with the cool kids. I hang out with my friends. Oddly enough, I wasn't popular in high school, but I did have friends. I'm having dinner with three of them on Tuesday.
At work last week, one of the engineers challenged me with "Do really intend us to [do something proprietary]?" and I said "Yes". And he said, without any challenge to his voice, "Oh, OK." That's why I like my new company. People will express their opinions, but listen when a decision is made. (And I had backed it up with reasons and facts).
