In this episode, I talk about how people will tolerate a lot, but what they won't tolerate is an environment where they feel oppressed and pushed down. And the bosses act that way because it's easier for them to keep people down, make them wrong, so they never have to worry about somebody essentially making them look bad. If somebody is actually more talented than a boss that acts like this, then the boss feels threatened that the person might take the job of the person because whoever their boss is might go, how about we move Bob off the team and give Jake his position?
