In a private sector organization, the duffers and bluffers often enjoy and spend a long tenure whereas the talents and diligent employees usually suffer and find it tougher to stay for a long period in the same company. This is partly on account of the reckless attitude & selfish behavior of the mediocre or senior most officers and largely because of the self-centric character of the owner or proprietor or employer.
Andrew Grove, Co-founder and Chairman of Intel Corporation, Only the Paranoid Survive:
The sad news is, nobody owes you a career. Your career is literally your business. You own it as a sole proprietor. You have one employee: yourself. You need to accept ownership of your career, your skills and the timing of your moves.
The Attitude, Behavior and Character of a person decide the position,designation & remuneration in an organization of private sector. Back-bencher/drop-outs/Big office-politics player for director and key decision-maker posts; Bluffer/Big Credit-Snatcher/boot-licker for senior and higher positions; Duffer/Liar/Malingerer for middle to upper cadre on the hierarchical ladder and to spend a long tenure; Sincere/Studious/hard-worker for junior to middle level rank and to suffer humiliation a lot. That's the typical & usual picture of organizational structure and culture(vulture). Everything happens in the knowledge and under the nose of owner/proprietor/board-member.
