a friend gets promoted

twenty-seven years and one million words

A lawyer friend has taken a gig that he summed up by saying, "The exposure includes things like potentially testifying to congress." Well done, sir!

Needless to say, it comes by accepting a job offer. Gone by some decades are the days of in-the-job promotions, in my experience. I used to think it was just IT that required people to move on every three years, but it seems to be everywhere.

In an unequal society, those who land on top want to believe their success is morally justified.
