I'm from the Philippines. I'm working in a BPO company. I tried 4 times in applying for a higher position but i was always rejected. I'm not so famous in our office. I only have few selected friends. I have the same value as the company and I think that the management has forgotten it. I want to be promoted because I know I can do it and be the best. I hate asskissing. I'm not comfortable on it. I'm not a good actor. Please help. Do I need to asskiss? HI! I’m from the Philippines. I’m working in a BPO company. I tried 4 times in applying for a higher position but i was always rejected.

I feel like I have the need to ass kiss due to lack of connections I have. My friend even admits she ass kisses all day everyday. I am quiet bad at it I have to say cause I'm really not interested in pleasing others I suppose. Lol I need to change cause if maybe I took that extra effort to compliment or w/e it might make them like me a little more...I tend to be too honest n blunt. QQ I hate that.

Think about it - most top employees/executives don't do much work and are usually not that talented. Corporate America is in its current position due to the numerous ass-kissers who exist. I used to think that "keeping it real" was the way to achieve true success (making money), but the executives don't want you keeping it real - they want you to come up with ways that will boost their positions, even if the methods are shallow. And at the end of a massive layoff - the ass-kissers stayed behind. While the "keeping it real" crew got cut. I'm going to pucker up and spread 'em wide for 2011 and see what results I get. ehehehehe! Ewww! I like this post.

There is absolutely no need to ass kiss; just being genuine and an effective worker is sufficient enough in any job environment. I pity ass kissers because it's a shame they feel as if they have to stoop down that low to get what they want. Obviously they have no sense of pride, are insecure, and are manipulative. Usually after they get what they want, they discard whomever they were using and proceed to kiss the next person's ass. I've had a few employees attempt to kiss my ass before and I deeply despised it. In fact, I called them out on what they were doing when I noticed that they were never genuinely interested. They always came from a shady salesman angle. This post is ridiculous. There is absolutely no need to ass kiss; just being genuine and an effective worker is sufficient enough in any job environment.

I say, to each his/her own. If it works for you, great. But how can an ass kisser look himself/herself in the mirror? I cannot kiss ass, especially if I despise the person.

Learning to get along with people, even people who are annoying as all get out is not "ass kissing". Giving someone a heartfelt compliment is not "ass kissing". Telling somebody you like their shoes when you really do is not "ass kissing". Encouraging somebody is not "ass kissing". The reason "ass kissing" sticks in peoples throats so badly is because we know that it is not the above items. The above items qualify as learning to be a genuinely mature, kind, wise person. "Ass kissing" is the person who looks around for people who can do something for them and butters them up. Genuinely kind people will try to spread a little cheer around just to make the world a better place. They will smile at the cashier who looks like she is having a hard day. They will tell the bus driver that they are grateful for the curb service. Just because. The ass kisser, on the other hand, is not genuine. The ass kisser is feigning kindness because they are counting on the recipient doing something for them in exchange for that kindness. They are giving to get. They are not giving out of a full heart. They are selfish people who are always mindful of what they are going to get out of the deal. I think that decent people know that and that is why this very word has such a strong reaction. I don't think any but the truly curmudgeonly have a problem with the concept that being nice to people and trying to brighten up the world is a good thing. But don't mistakenly call it "ass kissing".
