    I went to work for a company in an entry-level, unskilled position. That company had a mentality of hiring from within and training for positions rather than hiring qualified external candidates. Because of that company, I managed to develop a career and am currently making over 6 times what I was earning when I started there 12 years ago. I’m no longer at the same company, but I am incredibly grateful for how lucky I was for things to fall into place the way they did.

      That’s brains and hard work. Lemmy does not accept that as a way to move forward. Next time try to dig on capitalism or nepotism or some other -ism. No one gets ahead by hard work. No one.
