Should you be true to your principles or values on the job? Conflicting advise from two recent articles

First, see Take Your Job and Shove It: Cheers to the six Minnesota prosecutors who resigned Tuesday. We need more of that by Matthew Hennessey of The WSJ. Excerpts:

"You’ll always regret violating your principles for the sake of a job."

"It doesn’t matter if you work in government or at a grocery store. If for any reason you can’t bring yourself to do the job you’ve been assigned, pack it in. Resign. It’s the honorable thing to do."

Then see ‘Don’t Be Yourself’ Review: Performance, Please: A psychologist argues that privileging ‘authenticity’ in the workplace can lead to bad outcomes by Philip Delves Broughton. He reviewed the book Don’t Be Yourself by Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic. This also appeared in The WSJ. Excerpts:

"Mr. Chamorro-Premuzic lists four traps: always be honest, with yourself . . . be true to your values . . . don’t worry about what others think of you; and bring your whole self to work."

"these platitudes ignore human and organizational psychology"

"success at work demands inauthenticity and good social skills. If you want to be rewarded and promoted, you have to seem authentic, not be authentic."

"We should aim to express the version of ourselves that serves the moment and the people around us."

"If you come to work high on your own value system, it is likely you will ignore the values of others and fail to “coexist in harmony.” [this] reveals a selfishness, a lack of empathy."
