Let's say your CEO--yes, the big guy,--drops by your humble cubicle every so often just to see how you are doing. What is it that makes him pause at your door? Passing by, he has, perhaps, noted that it is chatter-free. There's only busy you in there, silently working at your computer, your cell phone out of sight. Soon, he is telling you things about how the business is going, who is on his shit list, who is about to be promoted, who is about to be canned. He also listens to your opinions on all kinds of matters. Before long he is your confidant. The knives are always out for highly placed men and women who haven't anyone they can trust in the executive suite so they choose, as their repository, a nobody like you, in whom they can see promise. KEEP HIS SECRETS. One day you'll find yourself in a small, windowless office, but an office nonetheless, and you will discover that you have a much-sought after mentor, and you are on your way. This will work if you are not sleeping with your powerful new friend.
