Many smart people join full of ambition, only to discover they’re expected to follow old, sometimes wrong traditions. Showing initiative isn’t appreciated unless it’s heavily filtered through the elders of the cult.

There’s so much focus on surviving the dirty politics that people stop investing in the growth of their actual skillsets. Beginning of another cycle of this craziness. I know it's easy to say "if you don't like it just leave" but most people will endure the dysfunction longer than they should for so many reasons....

@a8 not everyone enjoy being on the knees like yourself
