I have a theory that if you want to be promoted for your skills, work ethic ect you have to work at company that's facing the pressures of capitalism. Wants to succeed.
If you work a major bank or something, there is nothing stopping your managers from covering their asses ( all along the hierachy) an simply transferring the blame onto the lowest level employees.
- munificent 8y agoThat theory assumes that skills and work ethic directly translate to capitalistic success. My impression is that many ways to win in business don't involve working smart and hard, but instead involve reducing competition, influencing regulation, restricting consumer access to accurate product information, etc. In other words, you can win the market by being the best, or you can just change the market itself. Your bank example is a good one — look at what a financial successful strategy it has been for banks to capitalize on their gains and then distribute their losses onto us by getting bailed out.
- dominotw 8y agoYea that makes sense. I am not sure then how low level employees can protect themselves from becoming a scapegoat for failures and theft of success . Its hard to asses management before you join a team and harder to change teams.
- djakjxnanjak 8y agoThe only way is networking. You have to find good people and stick with those people. Only work somewhere if you know someone good who works on that team and likes it.
