Its really easy until everyone complains I'm saying no, my review scores drop, and I get fired. Idk what kind of heaven exists out there where you can actually say no without the rest of the office dogpiling you like rabid corporate zombies but its not the place I work at. I could say no once, that person hold a vendetta, and give me a 1/10 on my review, costing me a raise. Its absolutely a fucking Klingon culture up in here.

It sounds like your coworkers lack honor! Perhaps it is time for them to experience Bij...

Saying no is a superpower, just not in the way the author of the original post intended. As comments like yours highlight, saying no to nonsense work is out of reach for the vast majority of people who would most benefit from it (i.e. workers who are bothered by managers). It sounds like your workplace is especially gruelling in that respect.

Its a slog for no reason, it doesnt have to be like this at all. The "leaders" create and actively maintain this environment. I have given whole presentations on how to fix it. They want it to remain a brutal revolving door.
