He's right
Do you actually expect to move up the ladder if you keep yourself to yourself?
You're not overreacting. When they get titles they think they own the world, you beat them at that game by being good on paper and staying in general good graces with everyone. This is coming from a guy with an executive position and a Masters in economics who regularly makes accountants look like idiots, even the CPA's.
attitude while still kicking corporate ass. Like me.
The entitlement
The conversation wasn't that serious. I had a great year end review. The numbers drastically improve in the 6 months I've been here. This was more of a side critique. Tbh the company is failing. Oil and gas is taking the metal industry down with it. Everybody here is just sucking what's left until it dies. On some don't rock the boat shytYou're working in accounting, by and large most accountants are a$$holes and socially maladjusted. I deal with them all the time.
Sorry the guy is a jerk. I'd be looking for a new job if I were you, just because there are people in management who are cool as hell, and have a
*edit* This story from 8 years ago?
No, you don't
Anybody who's ever led anything - even a group project or something - knows that interpersonal relationships and visibility are a huge part of leadership
Edit: wait, aren't you that idiot with the women shouldn't be in management positions thread? Oh I just cannot with your "women shouldn't have those positions but I definitely should, even though I refuse to put in the work to earn that position" ass
I fired her. I started going over her head for everything. We sit beside each other and haven't spoken in months. She ran one sister off after a month of working here. I live to troll this ladyWhy won't you kiss our asses
No surprises though. A black man in corporate is like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. But not just that, when you're in the professional environment you'll notice they make sure you have a copy of that damn hierarchy chart to remind your ass A) where you stand, and B) whose ass you should be kissing.
Story time: 8 years ago, I'm a green recent grad, took me two years to finally land a job in Accounting. Very difficult field to get into, everybody wants 2-5 experience and a minimum of 3 certs. So I get my break, hired by this very successful, no nonsense type A personality, old ass Italian guy. He actually worked for Donald Trump and was a Project Manager for the Taj Mahal construction in the late 80's.
The guy was hard to work for, he had a short fuse. A few months into the job we're on a conference call, somewhat high level call with with CFOs and Managers, and he asks me a question. This particular question I didn't have an answer for. He was cool at the time. That day right when I was about to shut it down and take it to the house I get a call from him- he works of the New York office, I was in Memphis. With another senior manager on three way this dude flew off the handle. Dude was yelling so loud that the phone speakers was moving in and out like subwoofers. I couldn't get a word in. I was so mad I prolly would have killed ole boy if he was standing in front of me taking that shyt.
I decided that day fukk a hierarchy chart. We men first. I got a family to feed but shid we will be alright, trust. I'm not going to sit up here and whine about unfairness, its the white man's house he can do what ever he wants in it. I'm working on building my own. But until then, fukk these ppl mane.
I had to walk through the fire in order to build up the confidence. Seeing that people in high positions are no smarter than you really makes you look at the world differently. You're no longer afraid. But the experience has been invaluable
I thought you were a dude. I can't stand when grown men get cute. I'll let you liveOk then.
Boss of what exactly?
