I call bullshit. Great people skills will not save you if you do not know how to approach a certain situation that requires a great deal of know-how. Managers are typically the biggest brown-nosers who will purposely knock down or even SABOTAGE awesome employees in fear of being replaced.
@kucoru16 If is is something technically hard, they would get a good strong technical employee to help or do it for them. When the promotions come up, the only thing that matters is what friends your made and whether those friends are in a position to move you up.
I think the people skills thing is a little overrated. All the managers I've had have been the biggest and most forceful assholes in the group. None of them had any people skills. They just built little clicks/aliences with the popular people in the group. They used their alliences to fuck with the people who were really good and could really blow them away as managers.
@DrummerBeaster I always wondered why the technically weakest of the group was always promoted again and again. They always told me "Soft skills" are the most important thing even though I'm in a technical field. It's just the same as high school. The best thing for good solid hard workers is to start your own business or work in a small business where everyone has to contribute and you'd be really missed if they didn't have your skill set.
