I wish more people got hired just for being decent people you want to have around instead of everything having to be about ROI all the time. One of my favorite coworkers is the local office manager. She's probably the "least important" by capitalist BS metrics but she's also one of the kindest people you'll ever meet. She makes me want to show up to work.
fanksway@faithisleaping I disagree. It seems from my perspective that the socially adept excel at rising through the ranks, while those who struggle with the political game flounder. And I have noticed that most people judge the kindness in a way that is antithetical to integrity. Regardless, the reward for being a "decent person" should be intrinsic.
Riley S. Faelan@fanksway You know, that's an organisation problem. In a better organisation, there could be a division of labour: the socially skilled would be doing the social laddering, and those skilled at the work, would do the work laddering.
