Does RP work in a Work Environment?

6TimesDown7TimesUp · 2016-03-03T02:05:34+00:00

Yes. Being a more masculine man and owning my shit has worked very well for me in my workplace.

Having a mission, not being a victim, OI and abundance mentality have helped me through a series of mergers and reorganization that took out about 50% of the people in my position.

This year looks to be the best I've had ever financially and professionally thanks to using RP behaviors to make me a better man in my work life as well.

Recommend the "Extreme Ownership" book as a good place to start for business people and some good behaviors/mindsets. Saw this recommended by some veteran posters and have to agree based on my own readings and implementations.

Absolutely. I entered a new workplace with a RP mindset - most of management is made up of women in their 30s. Made significant improvements in entrenched processes immediately. Promoted after 3 months to management with a significant pay raise to go along with it.

I interviewed with an RP mindset, I came in day 1 with an RP mindset, executed changes and took on challenging projects seeing them through to completion. The women respect me, know I get shit done, and am not afraid to engage them on a level that other men in the office won't. I will tell them "no" if that is what I believe. Even the female CFO.

Yes it works.

I've noticed (after being RP aware) that everyone in a work environment tries to skirt blame for things (not owning shit as already mentioned). Being the first to accept blame puts you in a leadership role (kind of by default) and if your higher ups are worth a shit they will notice. Also, having a wide scope plan will put you at the top of a lot of work environments as well. Basically being a man about things has disappeared from the US and ultimately the work environment, making someone with that "skill set" a hot commodity. RP has done more for my work life than any amount of schooling ever has.

I would avoid any and all sexual aspects of RP in a work environment. Just treat the girls and guys exactly the same and you'll be fine and that doesn't mean dick or fart jokes with both, it means neither.

cj_aubrey · 2016-03-03T06:12:55+00:00

Absolutely. Things I learned here about shit testing, dominance and frame have completely turned the tables with my boss. The concepts of ownership I've learned from /u/TrainingTheBrain have completely changed how I manage my teams. These concepts are critical in any human relationship.

Yes it sure does and I have been working on a /r/redpillworkplace to start posting articles and advice too. It's not ready or even close, but its coming along.

Some stuff that plays well at work:

An early "no" makes everyone better off. All manner of crisis can be averted just by having a difficult "no" conversation on a timely manner.
Early "no"s stack, and add up to more energy and resources remaining to keep your most important commitments.
Broken record is amazing for just about everything. You can be the polite git who always seems to come through, because everyone evacuator aligns with our gets out of the way of his vision.
Outcome independence gives you the confidence to under promise in the great of the moment, which let's you over deliver later.

Important: None of this works long term if you're self centered. You've got to be committed to the organization for the rest of it to align and build trust and success.

Redneck001 · 2016-03-03T02:28:57+00:00

Hell yes. Game EVERYBODY.

Dominance is key. Be dominant, friendly, comfortable in every situation (even the situations where you're not comfortable, I highly recommend The Charisma Myth).

Be a leader, have strong body language, strong steady eye contact. EVERYONE is attracted to you.

You get to decide who brings value.

Hamilton950B · 2016-03-03T03:50:40+00:00

Yes! My RP adventure started with posture, eye contact, clothing, and haircut, and these things made a difference sooner at work than they did at home. It just kept getting better after that. 48 Laws and Dale Carnegie have both been a big help to me at work.

2016-03-03T23:12:33+00:00

Being more mindful of the social dynamics helped me a lot.

As well not being a whiny bitch.

Extreme ownership of the projects as well as my personality.

I got "stepped out as a leader of the team, blah blah blah, exhibits leadership qualities blah, blah, blah corporate newspeak...." on review with my superior and I was promoted shortly afterwards.

Definitely works for me.

DanG3 · 2016-03-03T23:33:50+00:00

Being "The Prize" works everywhere.

CopyAndPaste2015 · 2016-03-03T11:30:23+00:00

I can say that it does definitively. For me, even before starting unplugging, it has worked, (I'm a kind of expert in my area so it was easier to implement I guess).

In regards managing women...the sooner you set the expectations and accountabilities the better. Some will try to use the emotional card when they are held accountable for their actions, (e.g. confronted), and they will cry, (I've have my share of them). Funnily enough I've found no problem to remain unattached and keep focus to address the topics of the agenda rather than employees feelings.

Leaving low quality career for my own happiness?

I have a cabinet full of SSRI's that are just wasting away now, I've had the same liquor stocked in my cabinet for months. I'd say so. I have a few more interviews next week, I'll let you know if it matters on the other side too, but my gut says probably.

Funnily enough, the woman just needed her leader back, the career needed a divorce. there's still tons of guys back home who sit there and complain about it every day

MRPguy · 2016-03-03T18:14:33+00:00

Ditto to what has been said. It absolutely works. It has become very apparent that most of the females have been in a dry spell where they haven't worked closely with a masculine male in a long time, if ever. This also applies to many of the males.

They love it. How do I know? The same way we know with our wives. Constant kino, etc.

Luis_McLovin · 2016-03-03T18:33:51+00:00

Yes. RP works EVERYWHERE. a perfect RP-er is RP ALL THE TIME. Being Masculine HELPS EVERYWHERE.

SorcererKing · 2016-03-04T05:49:00+00:00

Office Space. That's all you need to know. When interviewed about what he does, Peter tells them -- with complete confidence and total OI -- that he does nothing. The result? They conclude he's a super-smart employee who isn't being challenged and recommend him for promotion to senior management. That's a bit satirical of course, but his attitude is what's important in the scene.

15 minutes of real, actual, work.

Chinchilla_the_Hun · 2016-03-04T15:08:15+00:00

To add another reverberation to the consensus echo...yes.

Story time: My workplace is ~70% female with a business casual dress code. About 2-3 years ago, I started dressing up every Tuesday for shits and giggles. [Improve SMV] If anyone asked - and I got a lot of questions - I simply responded, "It's 'Tie Tuesday'" or "I just felt like it" or "I'm trying to impress someone, ^is ^it ^working?" Shit like that. [Game, Aloofness/IDGAF]

Not only did this attract positive attention [Power Law #6], but it segued into me being (seen) as a leader when about half of the IT department (predominantly male) joined in for several weeks. (My department at the time included 6 other women and one day I overheard most of them chatting about what they could do to get the same kind of attention.)

In addition to this little side-show, I was killing it at work, owning my own shit and basically working myself out of my current position. A higher level position opened up in a related department and I interviewed and got it about a year after instituting my own Tie Tuesday. Since then, I've been practicing saying "no" more given my new workload and competing demands.

So basically, yes, RP it at work, though be mindful of politics and the varying levels of distributed power (actual and imagined). Unless you're at the top, the best you can do is be the best you possible.

If you are more attractive people treat you better.

Who knew, right?

Any tips on how to apply these techniques with colleagues for professional purposes?

Playful and even slightly flirty is fine. Shitting where you fish, or rather cumming on the place you hunt for food to feed your family is often not.

I think it's time to branch out.

Be careful tiger. The response you get from women can be overwhelming. Stay in control!

Roughknot · 2016-03-05T23:00:53+00:00

Without a doubt.

The confidence you get from lifting and understanding basic human psychology makes it easy to cut through the crap.

When I started swallowing the pill I was in a job that while important for the organisation had no growth and shitty management. I was a doormat. I work in a large corporate so I took a side step to escape and rebuild.

Since then I've been dressing smarter, networking, play the leadership when possible, can do attitude, talk less (pause before responding, throw the discussion to others), take responsibility, apologize less, say no more often and have far less stress.

This all came together in getting recent promotion which means a 30% pay rise, I was able to skip a whole management level. I won't have been able to do any of this with out having the mindset and give the perception that I am the prize.

And as others have said don't shit where you eat. I've had numerous opportunities to open with female coworkers but I only flirt with girls at work with eyes and words with 100% plausible deniability. And never over do it, spread it out over weeks, they love it. Power talk is as good for flirting as it is for negotiating business. Be careful though I've had one nutter of a girl get obsessed, manage up well and play the role of the victim.

I noticed that taking charge and facilitating meetings, thinking of innovative ideas, and making the documents more readable and efficient has gotten me more attention. The petite little 32 year old office slut has been grabbing for my attention lately but I just shrug her off. Now, that my office is starting to have more women and I'm taking more leadership the women in general seem to be attracted to me.
