It must be nice to make profound mistakes in life and proceed upward, as you were, with seemingly few or no consequences. Must be nice. Would not know.
2019 marks my 35th year working in corporate America. My 20th in “high tech” or something along those lines.
I know that I’m not the only one that could write a book here in the comment section about the people that continue to “proceed upward” who are morally repugnant on their best day. I’m not proud to say that at least one of them I genuinely hoped (in all seriousness) would perish in a fiery single vehicle accident on the way to or from work. Don’t know the exact number, but the bulk of them were reported for one thing or the other and all of them were dudes.
The old boys club isn’t just a joke that gets tossed around - it’s real and often dangerous.
