You always wondered if you had the right credentials, but now that you’re looking at your competition up close you see that it’s no contest.
You feel awkward praising someone who doesn’t deserve it, but it would be more problematic if you didn’t. Think of it as being politic.
Thank heavens an associate catches a flaw in the nick of time. This is one of those rare occasions when it pays to have a nitpicker watching your back.
Prick up your ears because a casual comment holds the key to your troubles. That said you need to think associatively; not logically.
If it looks like the short end of the stick and feels like the short end of the stick then guess what? Nevertheless this is still better than nothing. Many have made more with less.
You’re leaving behind a no-win situation, but don’t tell others who expect you to see things through to the end. Make a discreet exit.
