Never be smarter that the BOSS!"
true. I got kicked out of Maplin. I was the *only* person there who didn't drop out of college, and the boss had to *assert* herself on me- tried telling me false truths etc. Of course, I knew what I was talking about and refused to listen, ultimately getting me kicked for not listening to the boss.
I had a lot of knowledge.
These days, I go into the maplin stores on occasion. Nobody there knows what they are doing anymore- when I was there, the people I worked with ALL knew what they were talking about.
For instance, I asked for a Graphics card and the "It expert".... tried to sell me... a TV tuner. I mean.... WTF!?
