These are all invaluable survival skills, NGL.
It's the resulting FFF hairtrigger readiness that's fucking hell on the psyche, though.

office work skills
The most important office skill was taught by George Costanza: look angry and people will think you're busy working hard.

I found out at a previous position that the best way to get my work done was to be short with people. In that case they wouldn't bother me, and I had more time to do my work.

I've become so used to it that now I lie to any sort of authority figure or any authority adjacent figure out of habit.

What is FFF?

Fight/Flight/Freeze (though, some even add Fawn to that)

Your comment does not really fit in with all the rest around here, and I'd gladly watch you figure it out

Ah, okay. I thought you were UAPWE. I was right

I am neither a writer nor an editor, though I certainly would prefer to be united (much less "international", for that matter).

100%
Unfortunately, looking angry makes us more stressed over time. Still, worth it if I don't have to talk to anyone

Depends on what you mean by "strict". I think the meme is about the parents who get angry over little things but don't actually pay attention to their kids much - the ones who just assume that their kids would not dare to misbehave. However when I was in high school, I also saw plenty of kids (often immigrants) who had successfully been taught to work pretty much non-stop. I think their parents watched them (or at least their grades) closely enough that they couldn't have gotten away with anything. It seemed to work well - they got straight A's, never got in trouble, and went to prestigious universities. I can't think of a single one I knew who burned out or rebelled (while in high school - I don't know what happened to them afterwards). However, the ones I got to meet were already filtered, with the low- and medium-achievers not admitted to that school.

I mean, I know plenty of kids who learned this without strict parents. School staff, daycare workers, business managers, cops... anyone in authority looking to impose rules also taught these lessons.
You'd think nobody on this sub has ever shoplifted before, ffs.

This one hits a little too close to home...
Also, the word you're looking for might be "abusive" rather than "strict".
