If you are not born with LOTS of money and in the right group of people you have to work your way up and 80% of it is not your work but who you get to know. I have seen it over and over and over. I could never bring myself to do it. I have been in the right position many times and even encouraged by the upper management but my response was; then I would have to learn how to play golf??? lol

I have been lucky enough to get to know the right people by accident and it helped me get to where I am I think. I busted my butt for years coming in 45 minutes or more early, leaving late, doing the jobs of my leads and only got a little recognition. I got to know one of the guys my age who was into quadding and I bought one also. We use to go riding and camping. I got labeled as a suck up, brown noser by a couple guys and I had to confront them to find out why. It turns out his dad was the senior manager over our plant of several thousand people. I had met him but had no clue who he was and little did I care at the time. I LOL and blew it off but I'm sure I could have used to to my advantage if I wanted.

You dont have to become one of the suckups or brown nosers but you have to know how the game works and be willing to take some lumps and ridicule if you want to move up most of the time. Only other way is to become your own boss. To much work for me and I would fire my lazy ass.
