Oliver Goldsmith
18th century Irish writer/poet

i work in a culture overrun with testosterone. way too many men with degrees suggesting (to them) that they know much more than they do. as a result most everyone acts as though they have no questions and just know what to do. we're a company of emperors with no clothes

ReplyDeleteOne, attempt to change the culture.
Two, leave.
Number one can be very difficult to do, which, in this economy, is also true of number two.
Think very carefully about what you want to do and above all else, plan.
