Elph knows the scoop.

But only underlings clean up poop.

elph will come to the dark side sooner or later

All that moralistic posturing is a bunch of crap anyway.

Most of MB agrees.

I don't just mean him either

Anyone who really thinks he sinned by throwing out some candy bars is deluded imo

More like not having such strict morals that you can't function effectively in the environment in which you exist

Which you're already halfway there via your job and actions. Only thing left is to stop mouthing the meaningless platitudes.

The Batlord 07-24-2019 11:47 AM

**** environments. I don't like particularly like or respect most people I meet and have little desire to conform to the environment they create.

Pragmatically speaking you're still conforming. It's not a matter of whether you like the idea. Society doesn't allow for true non conformity.

Obviously, but that doesn't mean I have to conform my personality, beliefs, and actions. I'm always just shy of a social meltdown because people just can't get used to the way I interact and I've come to terms with that and don't try to pretend to be someone palatable.

That's fair enough. I'm not arguing against individuality completely.

I'm just saying I guess I think taking some stands against the system based on some moral is a pointless fight.

Like the fact elph got criticized for ruining some candy and having an underling do some dirty work
That's just the nature of the beast when you are a store manager at some corperation. What's the better option... Being the underling who gets paid less so someone else can step in and do what you weren't willing to? Nothing changes there except your status. The same outcome occurs.

I'm not completely amoral either I guess I just have less morals.

The Batlord 07-24-2019 12:15 PM

I don't think anybody's truly raking elph over the coals, it's just banter, except for the bleach thing if he knows the bums will eat it anyway. And I'd rather be the underling than be a manager when I know that rising through the ranks of a corporation means ever increasing fealty to corporate mentality. I'm not going to let some scumbag boss dictate how I treat "underlings", and the higher you rise the more you have to. I've seen too many bosses let their company pay rent to stake a claim in their brain.
