Climbing the corporate ladder

[Dollhouse]

Is it true that if you wanna get promoted at your job you'll have to basically kiss you boss' ass or something like that? I used to not believe it because I think it's the skill that's important, but hearing all these stories make me start to think that it might be true.

What do you think?

When I became a supervisor at my job a few people said I got promoted because I was an ass kisser / brown noser. I don't believe I do that. I just work hard and don't have any issues with management. The people running the show are just people like you and me. There's no reason to feel nervous or intimidated by them. I always talked to the bosses like I'd talk to anyone else.

If you want to climb the corporate ladder, you'll either have to brown nose or job hop. It's not like it was 30+ years ago. Having the right connections helps, too.
