Promote backstabbing employees
Why do backstabbers get ahead? Must I become one?
answer:
Senior company officials who promote backstabbing employees are total assholes, too, aren’t they? Why should they reward your civilized behavior when it’s a reproof of everything they stand for? They’re far more comfortable promoting someone who is brutal, selfish, and mean. They know that guy. He’s them. The good news is that your road, although harder, is definitely the happier of the two. Don’t become a creep. You’ll eventually triumph by building consensus, performing with distinction, and fighting face-to-face with your backstabbing colleague. Good guys almost always do fine in the long run. If things aren’t going your way now, wait a minute. Time is on your side.
