    Big companies love promoting a token worker to upper management. Someone to point out to the low level staff, as if to say, “Work hard, don’t piss off management, rat out your coworkers and someday you might be picked to be an executive”. It’s like the flaming hot Cheetos guy, they were fine letting him lie about his story and pay him to be a marketing VP, just to make the workers think they might go from janitor to executive someday.

      Now I understand why porky insists that “networking” should be a job requirement.

      Yeah, it’s a way to legally discriminate, but also forces people to be loyal. Be like the guy in the pic or enjoy your unemployment.
