This May Actually Be Why

I was reading an article about how to be valued by companies. It included things like '(M)ake yourself the favored one in the eyes of management', '(S)ee yourself as an integral driver of profit', 'Give your best to the company'.

I think I understand where they're coming from with these, but, frankly, I think they're creepy. They bring to mind the images of Big Business from the 1920s -- fat guys with thick stogies and top hats leering down at the working stiffs. This is who I want to work for and impress, this is the image I want to project? I don't think so.

It could explain my lack of meteoric rise.
