And the best, most skillful predators will rise to the top in any organization because they have no conscience, no boundaries and, because of those “qualities”, they get results. The ends justify the means.

It’s not true that this will happen in any organization, but it is sadly true that it’ll happen in many businesses because of the way that ‘success’ is judged.

I feel like even when I was growing up, there was a lot more of a sense that how you earned your money was more important than the mere fact you earned it, that people working a simple, honest job got more respect than someone ruining shit for money. I feel like this has changed in my lifetime, but maybe it was just me becoming more aware of it.
