Failing up: why are mediocre workers around me being promoted?
Manage episode 415180107 series 5385
It’s frustrating if you're working hard for a promotion at work just to see a colleague you feel is less deserving advance ahead of you.
But failing upwards calls into question the idea that our workplaces are meritocracies, which is the ideal, if not the reality, that we aspire to.
Can work ever be entirely based on competence? And why do some get to fail and succeed while others don't?
