Mostly, it's employees licking their manager's boots or sucking their dick.

There, that's how you get promoted.

Become "the" single point failure for a lot of company software should you leave.

That works too.

This. Every time.

Yep. I’m very ain’t “token women in the workplace” bullshit but having to do women in tech posts this year to make head of HR happy to get seen for promotion options 🤷🏼‍♀️🫠

Also, I need to find the study, but it showed that if you want a promotion to permanent middle management, as in HR can never fire you for fear of a lawsuit, champion some woke narrative or initiative that is “the current thing”. It works best if you are part of an identity victim grievance category yourself. No CEO or upper management type can refuse you and nobody under your jackboot will dare say ought against you. A ton of that is embedded in corporations now because of a relatively small set of middle managers “renormalizing” the workplace with some aspect of this.

@C0D4 that's what I do
