    Do your job. Make yourself as valuable an employee as possible. Work as efficiently as possible, come in on days off, learn as much as you can.

    Do the work of, cover for & praise his/her "untouchable" (buddies,) because if you don't you will be attacked and/or threatened for not doing their jobs, covering their mistakes, defending their racism, bigotry, sexism, hate speech.
