    I was about 25. I did actually work my way up through sheer knowledge base within the first 6 years at the company. But after several years of going for a more technical position the boss slept with a new hire who was new to the industry and gave them the position.

    I promptly left the company and heard that the person who gain the position through I’ll gotten means not only messed up a lot but also injured themselves doing stupid shit anyone who’s been in the industry would not do.

        That hasn’t changed much. In my area, women are sleeping with men to get minimum wage and work twice as hard as men who don’t sleep with the same men (I guess) to not work hard and make 2-3 times as much. Let’s just say I’ve learned I can do without a whole lot of stuff I didn’t think I could before. For years.
