BusinessPundit reveals the thoughts that occurred to him in a meeting. (Actually the accumulation of various experiences over the years). An excerpt:
I give up. I can't listen to this anymore. You just go on and on about him. No one here likes him. He's a suckup. Suck. Up. That's what he does. He won the Thompson account? I don't think so. Their CEO can't stand him. We won it in spite of him, not because of him.
You think we don't understand how this works? We know. The ones that make the most noise are the ones that get the next promotions. 360 degree reviews? Ha. More like rubber stamps.
I thought this place would be different, but... there were signs. That smug smile during the interview when I asked about your management style. You said you just "hire the best people and get out of their way."
Did you think that was original? I only heard it at 10 of my last 12 interviews.
I have lots of potential for advancement? Sure, if I'm willing to sacrifice my integrity to play the game.
I could be like him. I could play politics. I could intercept the good news and run to tell you before anyone else. I could blame the failures on people that aren't around or people that I know will take it. I just wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
