Some of what Andrew Wrote:
"A few days ago, this writer applies for a job at my company. This is choice
man. In his cover letter, he tells about this project at his previous
company
where his discovery of a client using "inappropriate solutions for a
security
implementation" saved his company X-amount of dollars. Funny, I don't
remember
getting fired from that project."
"When I saw this I almost pooped my pants it was so funny. I called the IT
manager of the client and told him this. He laughed too. Turns out the guy
pissed off the IT manager so much with his bantering about using this tool
and
that font, they moved him off the project into some other part of the
company.
He got offended and quit."
More evidence that once you've chosen a particular feild, the people you
meet on your way "up" are the same people you're gonna meet on your way
"down". Don't unnecessarily tick off too many people as you 'climb'!
For example: compare the success of Michael Jackson to that of Lionel
Ritchie. What holds Ritchie back? Talent, comparatively? I think not. So
what's the problem? He's been labeled by the people in the music management
biz as "difficult to manage". Go figure.
It takes a long time to climb up but a split-second to fall down.
