>>By the way, it was the fifth time I won that sales competition. The only other person to win it more than I did was fired six months later. He was as surprised as I was.<<
I have never understood how that kind of thing happens. As a manger, I have always said “my job is to remove barriers so my people can do their work unfettered.” I live that. But I never understood managers who seem to live by “my job is to have you make me look good.”
Maybe I am naive and will be forever...
