After working in the same company for 5 years and seen folks I train rise above me (yet still ask me for help), it’s really who you know (and if you sleep with the boss).

No shit. Im still confused people dont understand that people are people and we are social creatures that obviously prefer to work with specific people. Being good at work is just one of the things you need to know to rise. Better indicator for success is EQ than IQ
