@financial.review: Early in his career, Gilbert + Tobin chief executive Sam Nickless received a piece of advice that altered the trajectory of his professional journey. In the latest episode of the 15 Minutes with the Boss podcast, Nickless explains why corporate life isn't "designed to be fair" and why junior lawyers shouldn't panic about the rise of artificial intelligence in the legal sector. Listen now at the link in our bio.
i mean he's correctly pointing out that the idea we live in a meritocracy is a myth.

The only way to win the corporate life is to not play. So get yourself self-employed and never look back!

The CEO of the firm is saying that corporate life isn't fair, and, as a result, he has risen to the role of CEO. What a paradox - basically admitting that that's how he has succeeded - even explicitly says "there will be someone smarter than you who is earning less" and wears it like a badge. I've worked with people like this. I call them toxic. And, my secret to happiness is not too adopt his ideology, but to avoid people like this. And it is much a more satisfying and rewarding feeling, and lasts a lot longer.

Don't mince or sugar coat your words. It is tyranny shifted cunningly in a subtle form into the corporate world. Power play and tribalism.

We all pass away one day, and i think people who are so obsessed with their careers, those who are willing to step on people to rise up, are people who haven't made peace with that at all.

Law firms and their business model is from the 1800s. Not bout fairness - it’s about it being a toxic work environment (which it is)

Having worked in top tier law firms for many years burn out for high achievers is rampant. You need to learn not to succumb to excessive praise and workload out of your own ego. Unfortunately high achieving does not mean a great result. Sometimes the grifters win.

I know this wasn’t this guy’s intention, but thanks for summing up so eloquently why the corporate world is both fundamentally rotten, and broken beyond repair.

Well that is the reason why corporate life is so mediocre. If there is no fair system that rewards people for been smart or putting the effort, then the organization will fill up with slackers.

Big 4 consulting corruption, firms and companies are profit not merit. Profit destroys people. People destroy the public service.

The top management bully staff that are following orders, hardworking and always quiet about unfairness and promote those bootlickers who gossips tons of shit while taking their own sweet time at work.
