Is it cynical or realistic? Earlier this week I was invited to have dinner with three bosses from three different companies. Over drinks, one of them told me how my boss, whose sense of competitiveness is legendary, had screwed him over a couple of times and yet the had gone on to work together and eventually remained friends. This same boss later mentioned how he was supporting colleagues at his previous firm even though the bosses at that firm had screwed him over big time (and were still doing by telling clients he'd "retired.") Why? Because it is about professionalism, customer service, and finding ways to make more money

It is so good to know you've got it all figured out.
