Not at all. It's a coping strategy. What I mean is that if I get emotionally
invested in the project, it becomes more difficult for me to go along with and
support bad management decisions. It doesn't mean that I become any less
professional---it just means that I don't put *emotional* energy into the
project, is all.

Yep.
