ass-kissing.  nothing else.  whether tech company or retail hell, ass kissing gets up the ladder. if you're good buddies with the director he'll push higher than if you were a simple humble hardworking employee.  submission and sycophancy get rewarded; and there's no more class conscious, submissive, and sycophantic race than the jeets.  'tis the way of the world. nothing to do with talent or iq.
