She doesn't necessarily agree you're screwed in the workplace if you're nice -- but maybe you can be too nice. She writes:

Don’t sir and ma’am to death: “Don’t always put yourself below people. Anyone could overdo please and thank you, and could cultivate a submissive personality.” Senning said. However, he was quick to add this: “But they’re effective tools and to abandon them, you do so at your own peril.”
