On staying in JA

Today my official boss told me over messenger, “I’m so glad you’re staying in JA. I think it’s good for JA to have people like you.” after I got a certain job done quickly and with a lot of initiative.

Unfortunately, he’s my official boss, and not my actual boss, and he has no control over the work I do, nor my position and status in the firm. He said he would try to influence the bosses with whatever limited relations he has with them, but eh, he’s kinda like me, the non-bootlicking bo chap honest kinda guy.

And nice guys finish last, you know?
