[quote=Anonymous]An oldie but a goodie Meg Wolitzer's "The Ten Year Nap". There's this paragraph where she hears about someone else 'killing it' at work, and it's like "She wished there was a footnote that explained the secret." It's the idea that often other people have some kind of backdoor help they don't talk about. Many years ago I worked at an embassy abroad and there was a very senior woman whose own mother had literally quit her job and moved to the developing country to be the nanny for this woman's kids and if you knew that, you'd be like "Oh, that's why she's so chill about leaving the country for a week for a conference and doesn't wonder if her kids are safe or eating or whatever," -- except it was kind of a closely guarded secret. That kind of thing. [/quote]
