Sadly, I have seen very negative people be honored, promoted, etc.

I have and have been fired by them.

I thought it was job burnout but it was actually boss burnout

The bad ones just keep getting promoted to hire positions. How do you think Bush and Cheney got to where they are?

Yes, Bush and Cheney are always there to remind us that in our alleged meritocracy, it is not the best and brightest who rise to the top. It is the most conniving and power-hungry.

Flotsam rises to the top, or is it....Flotsam Floats!
