This place is set in its ways, and nowadays that can cause a swift death. No upward mobility weeds out talent, and just contributes to rigidity. It’s a very novel idea to take on people, squeeze the life out of them in short order for not really a spectacular pay, and sp-t them out. God knows how many people were treated that way, who in other context and under different leadership could have made fantastic contributions. But better play it simple. And very old school. Until the world runs you over.
