I've been studying managers for much longer, and I've reached a very clear conclusion: they don't care.

Managers are playing the game. Rules vary from company to company but are broadly similar.

  • Take credit for your subordinates work as if you did it.

  • Make sure you have enough scapegoats to cover the fuckups.
