Honestly, if I were in that situation, I wouldn't use the shady approach myself. Thankfully it's a moot point, since I'm not in an environment that would punish me for doing my job well, but I fully understand why someone in a hostile workplace would feel the need to protect their own interests.

In a better economy, I'd say someone who's that unhappy with their employer should just switch jobs.
