Bathroom Monologue: Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy



"It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. You're not even a nice person – you're nice relative to other social climbers in the company, but you've stepped on my forehead at least three times climbing the ladder. Nicer guys are rungs in a ladder that you are ascending effortlessly, and I might say, often callously. An even remotely nicer could not cut pensions that way. The stuff you've put on the company expense account? These charges suggest an absence of moral compass that, if possessed, would make your series of promotions wholly implausible. I can only hope that you are a nice enough guy to not destroy the blue collar level of the company now that you've escaped it. The workforce is worried. Many have been jilted before. It's happened to nicer guys."

  1. Doesn't sound like a nice guy to me.

  2. Right. It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy, because the nicer guy wouldn't have done those things to "win." Sucks that you have to be that way to get ahead, but it's pretty much true.
