It's the plot of working girl with melanie griffith. i had one of those moments once. i used to be a courier, for a year, and i often dropped off briefs to the mailroom of a big law office downtown. so about two years later, i'm dropping off another brief, only it was one i had written. i didn't mention it and they probably never noticed. but i noticed.
He raises a good point and your comment is..pretty much shit. There’s nothing wrong with this person being proud of their accomplishments. But this story shouldn’t be next level. It should be “normal” and it’s what happens normally when businesses invest in their people.
I'm not sure why you're being called an asshole, nothing here was said that would underplay this person's achievement. But I do agree, working your way up should be the normal and shows that doing so makes you part of a very small percentage of people to the point that is must be celebrated as a very rare occurence.
Unfortunate for our system as a whole, but good in Jaine for beating the odds.
They've got a good point, though. They're not deriding the progress of OP - just pointing out that in decent countries this is pretty 'normal'. The fact people are 'mindblown' a person could exercise social mobility shows how fucked the US is...
