Are you telling me people who have more social skills climb the corporate ladder faster?


Shocking!


It's funny though, I tried partying, drinking being in shape at my job and all I did was get fired :P I gotta move to cali


it isn't so much as having elevated social skills, but being a yes-man and attending as many social functions as possible that involves upper management to be part of the inner circle, so to speak. happens a lot in startups and tech since their demographic makeup is younger than average, but more conventional corps tend to avoid that pitfall.

A lot of this.

But even the bigger corps out here still have a lot of fun at work.

Also one good thing about where I work is they do not want yes men. They want push back, BUT you better be fucking right if you do.

Was this written by an SJW? Talking about privilege and hiring minorities just because they're minorities... Many studies and statistics in general have long shown that affirmative action doesn't actually accomplish anything and actually hurts more than it helps.

I'd agree with you if the rest of the comment wasn't so well written and constructed. There may be some misconceptions due to perspective but it is really well wrought, hard to say something so well thought out could be wrong.

It was clear that riot is riot, love me some regi... Montecristos drama etc.
But what has always shocked me is the incompetence of dev & ingame balancement teams, like they hire bunch of random people in cycles to destroy anything good, while all they have to do is consult with theorycrafting/veterans of the professional scene.
For a while their paradigma of game health was (Op champ?) -> nerf his kit -> nerf his items because yes -> 15%winrate

They are uncapable of reversing any conflictual change made in the past that results in redundance with more recent "balancement".
Same goes with their retarded coding, where they unconsciously leave pieces of prerework stuff and recycle methods, to make an example of super trash tier work.

Also, let me add that local realities for riotgames are just as bad (italy for instance)

this sounds like every company though, it's all about politics and how well you're liked/received & seniority

I work at one of the big 3 and it's the same atmosphere, just be a bro, workout and get muscles

go with the current, bro
