There “oughta be a law”.....
That’s not even close to being right.
Thanks.
You just have to suck it up. Sometimes it is appreciated.
For white men, affirmative action is like walking into a headwind. But I know of one civilian who advanced quickly nonetheless.
He attended lots of meetings with higher officers. They would give him difficult assignments, which he never resisted, and regularly got on his case. It was almost like hazing.
He just persevered. He had to prove himself several times, but ultimately advanced. He kept this up. Long hours and some stress for years, but he climbed the corporate ladder.
