Deactivating U.S. News & World Report
U.S. News & World Report has a disturbing story advising young "up-and-comers" that it may pay off to train for triathlons — just in case "your CEO or some other high-level executive either runs triathlons or is about to discover them."
This reminds me of that Seinfeld episode when George refuses to eat the tainted pie: "If you're one of us, you'll take a bite." Substitute "eat this vanilla bean GU" for "take a bite" and, apparently, you have today's corporate lackey.
I hope we can keep business on the golf course and maintain triathlon as a sanctuary from all the corporate B.S., but I guess people are out there for their own reasons. I still have to believe the writer, Eileen P. Gunn, was just desperate for a fresh angle and that this isn't really happening. Is it...?
