[QUOTE="Daddy, post: 262708, member: 6379"] I used to work in an office environment like that. The union was extremely strong, the bosses were women, and there were strict rules like you mentioned about promotions, all in an effort to promote merit and fairness. The consequences? People found ways around them. Ass kissing remained the one and only important skill that made you move forward. The spectacle of the most shameless brown tongues was a hard thing to bear, especially when they were men on men. If the boss knows the employees at the human ressources department for 10 years, then he has influence on who gets promoted. For every stupid rule the union made, there were 10 ways to go around them. As usual, the rules were meant for suckers. You can't fuck with human nature. If the entire society works a certain way, then trying to build a large company that pretends to be different is a fucking waste of effort. In the end it actually makes it a lot worse, because the rules and corporate culture are built upon wishful thinking and denial of reality. [/QUOTE]
