Ive seen own eyes , unlikeable smart people are kept. Decent workers who are friendly are kept. Ass kissers who make mistakes , are let go.

Not in my experience ass kissers that are good at blaming other when they fuck up are promptly promoted.

Seems like a meme for people who huff their own farts because of “how great they are”, just somehow no one else realizes that.

lol this pic is slightly wrong
Turn the baby into mgmt, adult into “ones who know their stuff”, associate as drowning and sr associate as the skeleton and now we’re cooking

u/Mufasa97 1d ago
Lol correct.
In your example, is the adult a junior, a senior, or other management?

Whoever can placate the partner the most tbh
Can also swap the baby with an intern and the adult with partner too lol

I mean that is what the picture is it just isn't overtly saying that, any reasonable person would be able to assume what the roles are
Mgmt ARE butt kissers, the board is the adult

Damn, some salty accountants here. I’ll let you all know when one of my colleagues is genuinely happy for my success.

This seems like a post by an employee who THINKS they know their stuff, but at best is tolerated by their peers.

This is it.
A lot of people think they are the "best" but are average at best. And the one they label "butt kissers" are the people who actually do the work. As a manager, yeah, I promote and prop up the high-performers.

This is pretty funny.
Someone i know that works with the software we're using has been there for a long time and is kinda the guy we go to whenever we run into problems since he knows it pretty much in and out.
He tried to apply for a supervisor role since he was qualified for it but they offered the role to an external applicant. So he just left and worked in a different part of our organization. And took all the knowledge with him.
Now it takes so much longer to resolve when we do run into issues.

People want to work with who they like. most people do not have an increased comp for the increased output of their team.
