This is like two blind men saying the other sees real good.
I have a friend in software development who basically got his position removed. Still scrambling for a job, an old manager hired him to do basically the lowest possible position for a software engineer -- fixing bugs for customer issues.
This is basically akin to cleaning toilets, for an engineer.
Being a bright young fellow, he quickly rose to the top of his group (a bunch of subpar engineers) and became the department's superstar.
I had lunch with him and told him something new I had discovered while visiting a shopping mall during the day on a weekday.
I told him --
"When you go to the mall during the day on a weekday, there are basically two groups of people there. There are the stay-at-home moms strolling around with their newborn babies. And there are the groups of ******ed people walking around being led by their caretaker. Apparently the mall is a good place to take ******ed people because it's enclosed, it's not crowded during the weekdays, there's food, there's air-conditioning, etc. I don't know why, but those are the only people at the mall. The rest of the population probably has to work."
So he said to me, "Captain R, what are you saying? Are you saying I'm ******ed?"
I said, "no Mike, you're not ******ed. You're a smart guy and doing very well. It's just that you're the leader of the ******s."
