My Dad run a business, and i am one of the boss, small boss,
good for nothing one. So my dad appointed outsider to be MD, GM and
line managers, i only look see look see and happy go lucky.
Unless u are into some old fashioned company, u will never get
promoted nor go anywhere near the top management position, the only
chance is to become their relatives by marrying some of their
daughters or sons and also with some luck.
My Dad was fomerly only a purchaser, then instead of chasing for
parts, he chased my mom and married her, whose Papa, my grandfather
is the boss, my mom's brother, my uncle, have set up his own big
empire business, so grandpa left that business to my Mom and Dad to
run the show. Lucky hor. If not, i hv to work like hell. Dad very
clever but alway knock my head for being stupid, he alway said, "
why i so clever and my this daughter so stupid", i recorded what he
said and pass it to mom. Later at nite, their bedroom, i heard Mom
scolded Dad very loudly.
