This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

"Collaboration" "Mentoring" Outside of thee military, few companies have any mechanism to train people to move up the corporate ladder. If you're not there watching the boss, then you have no idea how to do their job. If the boss can't see you, they can't delegate the little tasks that amount to job training. If the boss can't see you, they have no way to evaluate whether you're helping or not.
The boss got his job by watching his boss and being in the right place when some opportunity came up, so that's their entire understanding of corporate advancement.
In most places, the boss got his job by kissing ass and/or being a fucking nepobaby more likely than not.
Companies these days are just plain all day this functional entities that are increasingly lacking basic functions like training.
