[quote=Anonymous]I'm the person who responded yes to Perception being more important than reality. I work for a large organization that is full of office politics. In that environment, being competent and doing your job well is table stakes. What matters most for promotions is being the favorite of the senior executives and politics. There are all kinds of calculations that go into what that entails, but it's not about how hard you work or a meritocracy at all. Just be aware that you can be a good, hard worker but if you aren't the SVPs's best buddy or seen as a cool person (let's face it, guy most of the time), it is challenging to succeed. For women, the grunt work often turns into being saddled with all the "unpromotable tasks".[/quote]
