I have had multiple VPs ask me complex, technical questions, and then I write them a complex, explanatory answer…

And the reply that I get back includes them literally just saying ‘I didn’t read anything that would have required me to scroll.’

These were boomers.

Fuck, man, ok, at that point, you’re just asking a question to waste my time, apparently?

I’m not gonna dumb down concepts that can’t be dumbed down and still meaningfully answer the question.

I was hired here because I have specialized skills, if you’re too stupid to understand them, maybe realize that good leadership is more about knowing when to defer to your trusted experts, than it is about feeling like you are in total control and understanding of everything, all the time.

It really is no wonder why the entire economy is collapsing, the elites really are just pantomiming a caricature of having a job, doing a job, being an important person.

We’ve 'boys club’d and nepotism’d our way into mass executive incompetence.
