Used to see some of the same BS in the corporate world. gus would come in whining about not getting promoted. I'd ask them how he think they've been doing over the past 2-3 years.

I tell them (a la jeopardy???) "please phrase your answer in the context of our corporate key performance measures. most of the whiners couldn't do it...couldn't even put their strengths in the framework. most didn't even know have the measures.

We can have a discussion about if the key performance measures were right/inclusaionary/balanced/whatever another time but they were the promotion criteria in the organization. And these guys usually couldn't have a coherent conversation about them.

discussions usually ended quickly with me being "the bad guy".

Oh well..
