Nope. Trust no one.

Definitely not. My mantra is on the picture from Memento: "Don't believe their lies". Predators thrive in our companies.

Never think that they won't throw you under the bus or cut your throat for another nickel in their pocket if they get the chance.

Definitely not. Act as if every word you speak and action you take will be shared with others and used against you ...or, maybe, used in your favor.

Ha! Just kidding. They will eat your bones.

Nope. Never ever trust anyone. Not even your counselor.

Yup, this is why you should be careful not to get too intoxicated around your coworkers if it reduces your filter, because you will likely end up saying things that can be used against you. Just speaking from experience unfortunately.

Yup, some. Not others. I'm generally cautious

That’s sad. I completely trust my mentor and my PML. They jumped under the bus for me so many times. Not the other way around

One of my PPEDs and one of my senior managers are my saving grace. Most other people I don’t trust

Unfortunately no.

Trust is earned over time and should not be assumed

Yes

I trust people I work with. Not everyone and not blindly. But I can think of at least half a dozen off the top of my head

Very few. I have been burned too much and had ppl that I thought I trusted twist my words and find out they were badmouthing me.
