• Don't break the Law for the company or the boss.
• Keep the company shit in company devices and your shit in your devices. That means company computer and phone for their stuff and your own for yours. If there's ever any Lawsuit or Criminal investigation on the company they won't take your stuff as evidence if you don't at all use it for company work and won't intrude in your privacy if the company stuff isn't used for your own stuff.
• Even if it's totally legal, if something that your are being ordered to do against your better advice might come back to bite you (i.e. you might get blamed for the negative outcome you predict will come from it), get that order in writing.

Even your direct lead can't be assumed to be your friend (no matter how nice: niceness is easily and commonly faked) until you've gone through some proper shit together and he or she has shown themselves to be somebody that will take the hit rater than "blame their underlings" - trusts is earned, not due.

I don’t know why, but I first read “org” as “dog” and I thought “excuse you, OP and all 100% of the upvoters but you can fuck right off. My dog absolutely has my back and he is more family to me than my parents are”

but then I re-read that and was like “oh, yeah. 100%”

I have a degree. I didn't take the PE exam. I just work as a drafter, though I've done a lot more before this. The lack of stress is something I've never experienced. I design some easy stuff, make drawings, and my supervisor has to sign off on everything. I don't stress about anything, I almost never even think about work after I leave. I make the same as I did 4 years ago but work 20% as hard and have 0% of the stress.

Boss asked me to do some shady import paperwork. I did it as asked, but I made sure his name was on all of it, if this ship starts sinking I got my lifeboat ready.

Whats "your org" in this context? If your org is any sort of refugee help org then this seems impractical. I assume "org" is supposed to mean commercial company/employer?

Oh they are family alright, just one of those extremely toxic and highly manipulative families that have your back by repeatedly stabbing you while gaslighting you into thinking a day-old pizza party will make up for it

The kind of company were Management and HR go around trying to convince employees they're like family and other similar things are simply trying to act like abusive cults.

Same goes for financial or health liability.
