"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."
Doesn't sound like a nice guy to me.
ReplyDeleteRight. 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.
ReplyDeleteYou tricked me! You started out by making me think the guy was nice but he's not! =O lol
