All I'm saying is, people who don't act professionally usually don't get promoted. At least not at a large office-bound company like Kraft, Hewlett-Packard, or Procter & Gamble. At places like that it's less about what you know, and more about how you act.

You act professionally until you've earned enough title/experience to act otherwise. It's the same everywhere. True story - one of my first experiences with executives was with a VP of some sort from Sherwin Williams... the client contact was always super professional, but when this guy came to visit - he's all f-bombs and sex jokes. At 21 years old, I was BLOWN AWAY.
Out of all of the many interactions I've had... I'll tell you, the guy from Disney was the worst! Every other word was 'fuck' and he CONSTANTLY badmouthed Disney... And he had been there for 20+ years.
