That just shows you have some ways to go before leaving worker-bee status behind. Networking with your boss and making people click with you is a legitimate and necessary skill in the work place. Many people can do a particular job, but those who know how to build connections, rapport, and trusting relationships will move up faster.

Typical excretion from our resident feces factory.

You weren’t referring to building connections. Your statement alluded to the fact that your zipcode was the predetermining factor that governed your (alleged) success. To which I responded by indicating that any manager that uses a persons location to determine who to promote is not acting in the best interest of the company.

But like always, the gyroscopic spin of the realtor-based posts jumps into high gear as you attempt to back-track on your actually statement.

And who are you accusing of being a ‘worker bee’? Do you understand why I labeled you as pretentious? You have absolutely no knowledge of my status in the company I work for. Like everything else, you just pull a supposition out of your ass.

But hey, what should I expect from a realtor masquerading as a ‘tech guy’ working on a ‘Mega Project’?

OMG – I saw “Chestnut Street” and that brought back sooo many memories. Back in the mid-80′s I lived in a roach-filled apartment on Cedar Street (right behind Chestnut). I’m not sure about NOW, but back THEN, the train tracks got a lot of use – at night. We eventually became accustomed to the nightly rumblings and shakings as big-a$$ freight trains made their way slooooowly down Chestnut Street en route to the Port of Redwood City. From the rattle-bang, I suspected many of the cars were empty.

If you’ve ever seen that episode of “I Love Lucy” where the foursome are en route to Hollywood and are forced to stay at the fleabag cabins where every time a train goes by the beds rattle, shake and move across the floor…well…you wouldn’t be far off from how it was to live around Chestnut St. in the 80′s.

People are pathetic. I think that proves that adding the extension for the changeover made no difference.

Love that quote: http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/entertainment/Switch-to-Digital-TV-Sends-700G-Running-for-the-Phone.html
“If this is any indication of our nation’s general ability to get things done, this recession is going to last a long time.”

#103 – My observations derive from working at all levels of a company traded @ the NASDAQ. Go ahead, redefine what you meant by “small time”

DreamT,
See you can learn from Realtardized logic too.

If you read my post carefully, you’d realize all the basis has already been covered.

LOL! Reading carefully? Comments by someone who has Realtard written all over it ?

DreamT says,

If you read my post carefully, you’d realize all the basis has already been covered. These factors may not matter as much in small time places you’re used to, but in a large, competitive organization with much talent, goals, results, and metrics can be achieved by many people. Who rises to the top has a lot to do with connections, rapport and networking.

The reality is that you either get promoted out of competence, which means you retain your independence, the respect of your peers and team, and the consideration of your boss’ boss if there’s one – or you get promoted out of politics, which means the opposite: allegiance, disrespect and disregard. Which of the two works best comes down to the quality of the company’s leadership, and that covers the whole spectrum. I observed first-hand good leadership handing over a longer rope to people who think just like you, only to watch them hang themselves on it. There are good leaders out there who click on goals, results and metrics rather than on connections, rapport and networking – even in sales and marketing.

Nice, the stuff one can learn from dummies!
