Reposted by Ken '|<3ns41' 👻 - Pro-Ukraine 🌻Blenster 🅅 @blenster.com · 11/10/2026All this can lead to the most Sr roles being fairly isolating and you end up with people who can buy anything but an honest friend they trust to tell them the truth even when it's painful. Instead they end up in a system that inherently incentivizes YesMen behavior which only makes things worse. 1122

You can see this in military leadership structures as well; the officers and enlisted don't socialize and the Sr officers are very careful how they socialize with Jr officers. 171

Now I'm a manager and it's true for me. 181

Leadership in general comes with some changes in expected behavior due to the shifting power imbalances and it only increases as the power does. 1102

Ken '|<3ns41' 👻 - Pro-Ukraine 🌻 @k3n5s.bsky.social · 11/10/2026It's also funny how people act differently within their band vs in front of others. Mid-level managers or even C-suite joke and gossip when it's just them, blowing off stress with others who understand what they are going through, but the shields come up in interactions with those above and below. 010
Ken '|<3ns41' 👻 - Pro-Ukraine 🌻 @k3n5s.bsky.social · 11/10/2026One of the challenges in getting promoted at big companies is being recognized as belonging to the "in group" at the next level. Once recognized as a peer by the higher level people you work with, the promotion is almost automatic. Lots of people work hard, but these connections show readiness. 110
Ken '|<3ns41' 👻 - Pro-Ukraine 🌻 @k3n5s.bsky.social · 11/10/2026This is also something highly cultural that can vary considerably. In some countries managers don't even eat lunch in the same place as the non-management, but in the US small teams share pizzas and things all of the time regardless of who the ranking people are.
