    Do they have hobbies/beliefs/sycophantic mannerisms similar to the bosses in charge? Because that’ll get you promoted. A lot of management are lonely people who don’t view others as equals unless they suck up or never argue, thus useless people get promoted so they can hang with “friends” in meetings all day.

    Or good old nepotism.

        That’s life. I’ll always give a prior service person a bit more grace - at least at some point they volunteered to serve. Plus they are usually team players who can follow simple directions.

        I also believe in mandatory state service (civil or military).

              Choices like what? Having a blind favorable bias towards people who served in the military? The consequences of which, are an incapable workforce that coast through life on past merits. I’ve worked with lots of them and most have a sense of entitlement, but are only mildly capable in the role they’ve been hired for. They have developed this sense of entitlement because people like you give them handouts.

                C’mon man. I was good at shooting people, running fast, and taking orders. That means I’m management material for an office for an insurance firm.

                Joining the military helped them get a job.
                That was a choice because they sure weren’t drafted. Seems like you didn’t do that and now you’re bitching about how life actually works.

                I mean, I wish magic was real and/or that the average person wasn’t basically fucking retarded, but I don’t go around crying because wishes aren’t reality.

                C’est la vie.

                  Whatever you do in life, please stay true to your username. We don’t need more dipshits like you contributing to the collective stupidity of the world.

          That’s life discriminatory favoritism. I’ll always give a prior service person a bit more grace of unfair special treatment - at least at some point they volunteered to serve the military industrial complex. Plus they are usually team players who servile and can follow simple directions orders without questioning.

          I also believe in am wrong about mandatory state service (civil or military)

          Fixed it for you.
