Never Say You Are Sorry
Never say you are sorry. It's not worth it. People take advantage of it, especially corporate people. You apologise and they smell weakness. Say you are sorry and they smell blood. Say you are sorry and suddenly you are swimming with sharks.
Blame somebody else, that is the true corporate way. The true corporate law firm way, certainly. It must be somebody else’s fault. If you can’t find someone else to blame, pin it on the junior, they won’t understand until it is too late.
This is HR theory 101. Those bitches in HR have refined it to the perfect art form. It is a subject in the HR degree, I believe. Then it spreads like a virus to the lawyers, the less disciplined ones first, those with less of a moral compass than is usual. Then the good ones get a dose of it too, when all those around them have been compromised and they have no other option.
So, is modern corporate life a reflection of society? Or is society to blame for modern corporate life? Chicken? Egg?
