Everything here runs on who you know. If you’ve got a connection in a high place, you’re set. If you don't, you're out of luck. Only one thing left to do in that case. Stay invisible.

100% if you're not related at southpoint you're going nowhere. It k*lled the company. Most mgmt have no skills or experience and are threatened by anyone who does.
“It’s not what ya know it’s who ya know”. The battle cry of every person looked over for a promotion.
Breaking news: it's not what you know it's who you know
Stay tuned for more realizations that for 99% of people success will be based on relationships.
That's a double edged sword right there. If you're invisible, then they'll be looking straight at you and the person nobody likes for the next RIF.
