The massive missing factor here is personality.
You can be the most impactful person going but if you are an asshole then you won't get promoted.
Edit: maybe I should say - an asshole to management, or bring up difficult things, etc.
- jongjong 8mo agoDepends on the company. In most companies, you MUST be an asshole to get promoted.
- EZ-E 8mo agoPopularity with the persons in charge of promotions surely helps... But it doesn't mean you need to be popular with other people.
- tpoacher 8mo agoI have massive empirical evidence against your statement.
- technofiend 8mo agoThe exact opposite is true in some places: being a massive asshole is often rewarded because those people are able to bully others into getting what the assholes want done. Only it's dubbed "influencing". The higher up you go the more toxic and defensive the political landscape.
