By now Sproul, you should have learned that I speak my mind whether its to agree or disagree, to give praise or to criticize.I call it as I see it. Period. And as for climbing the corporate world, Iquickly learned that people who tell it like it is only get to climb the ladder if they're truly great at what they do and then very rarely so I became self employed.
You can call me a lot of things but a suck up is not one of them.

My advice for you, let go of the past, get yourself unstuck from the 60's and 70's and bring yourself into this century when it comes todeer management and your favorite pastime. Your favorite stomping grounds have changed and not for the better. You need to adapt. I'm sure your heart is genuinely in this thing but you need to catch up with the world.
