The corp world could use more Frank Sobotka. He did what he did not to massively enrich himself or serve shareholders, he put himself in a shit sandwich to protect his crew, help his family and the Union. Compare his motivations to Marlo, relentless and ruthless pursuit of power.
They don’t want everyone back in the office for camaraderie, it’s about losing tax breaks. It’s not about serving your constituents, it’s about staying in office. I’m convinced prices stay high because they found people still bought their goods even after legit supply chain issues.
In leadership I look up to my dad. Started O3 as a reservist and made the tough choice to go active duty. Despite being almost 40 when he converted to AD, he still retired full bird and didn’t participate in chickenshit with his enlisted folks. They all loved him. He turned down a Group Commander slot, pinnacle of his career, because it was OCONUS and didn’t want to make my mom move overseas for a fourth time.
You can serve with distinction in your role and still treat people fairy. And no, I don’t think he woulda returned that xmas tree lol.
