what kind of existance is that? if you want to be top dog, you eat all the other dogs. in life, there are those who serve and those who reign. the best person for the job is the one who is good enough, ruthless enough, and strong enough to take it. people work harder to protect their job. if you don't save yourself first, then you wont be saved. respect is earned, and nobody gets paid to be fair.
Existence? That is up to you to decide. You can take it easy and work as a teamplayer and be happy in the lower levels of the corporate world (assuming u are in one) or you can work your ass off to climb up to the top. That is the natural order of the corporate chain. There are plenty of jobs on the lower levels but as you progress up the corporate ladder, there are less jobs available and thus leading to higher and tougher competition.

Yes, teamwork is very important but to be the very top dog, you have to compete harder than anyone else. You have to want it more than others. If you wanna be a teamplayer, they'll be plenty of positions for you working under that man or woman who will outwork, betray, or murder any and everyone to get to the top. I am not saying you HAVE to be ruthless and immoral to get up to the top but the MAJORITY of the people who are up there are the ones who sacrificed themselves by working their asses off to get there and they don't usually worry about who they step on to get there. Can a woman get to the top? Absolutely. Will she have to work harder than a man to get there. Maybe or maybe not. But would it matter just as long as you get up there? It would already a hell of a lot of work already...
