My "boundaries" are the same as yours, but I don't compromise them. Boss, HR, corporate, my response has always been "I don't indulge self delusions." I'm not afraid of consequences because I know facts and logic are on my side. Coincidentally, I also still have my job, and they do not.

Call me stubborn, but I feel like if you compromise who you are, you'll never be that person again.

Then again, I'm 40 years old and big enough that people rarely confront me about anything without sufficient 'back-up'. I'm not sure how long I could hack it in college these days simply because I don't hold my tongue. I believe in truth and honesty above all else, even when it pisses people off, which is also probably why I only have like 3 friends.
