After being in the corporate world for a while you will realize that some people are good at failing upward. With a potent cocktail of skills including shitty ethical standards, opportunistic behavior, moxy-laden performance art, social positioning, and aesthetic physiology, they are are able to bypass the standards that most others are forced to adhere to. Literally some people can just throw themselves away and be proud of it.
It’s frustrating that our economic system rewards these people, but welcome to modern “leadership.”
