Yet OP is the one who got a promotion, not a layoff. Good-boy points aren't transferable to other companies - but they do have value.
I was talking about generally. Everyone runs around thinking they are of prominence and blah blah blah.
In realty nobody has time to think about someone else.
The prominence is entirely in their own head.
People just don't get it.
Promotions and layoffs are more of less random. If your company is doing bad nothing is stopping you from layoffs. If you are in Nvidia nothing is stopping your from getting your stocks go boom.
Your view of prominence does not line up with what I've experienced for myself and seen for others.
I say the market has more correlation on your layoff or promotions than your prominence.
Again prominence is completely subjective and not measurable. Maybe you can say people who don't get laid off are more prominent.
Or people who get promoted are more prominent. But you can't measure prominence in an objective way.
>But you can't measure prominence in an objective way.
Nor can you measure friendships or love or anything else that is inherently subjective yet has a marked effect on your life.
