There is no way to survive the issue you're discussing. Eventually, it will creep into your bones, brain, and viscera, and rot your socks off. ;-)

You could always try starting and running your own business. This is very instructive and enlightening.

My story is that, quite a few years ago now, the management of my company decided to institute an Employee Recognition Committee to select and recognize employees of merit.

Within 2 months of selecting the staff members who were to serve on the committee, more than half of them were fired.
