Law 22 - Use the Surrender Tactic
Transform Weakness into Power. When you are weaker, never fight for honor’s sake; choose surrender instead. Surrender gives you time to recover, time to torment and irritate your conqueror, time to wait for his power to wane. Do not give him the satisfaction of fighting and defeating you – surrender first. By turning the other check you infuriate and unsettle him. Make surrender a tool of power.

So, when do you use tactic 22?
People would love to walk over you at work - learn to roll with the punches - let the 'victor' have his moment of glory - he is much weaker that way.
