Hi meer!
Having read your post, i agree with your over all premises. But i would like to bring a different angle to the situation.
First of all, i see nothing wrong with business people having a little social get together at their homes. Drinking is prohibited in our religion, and we should avoid it, but if others are doing it that
are their deeds and they will be held accountable for this.
As far as how others move up in life, it is none of our business so long as it is not done at our expense. I used to get bother about how people worm their way up in life and then i worked on this problem.
Finally, i realized, it is none of my business. Every body is entitled to use whatever means they have to move up in life, so long it is not illegal, and highly unethical. Look, life is neither fair nor a straight path. It is a capital (sensored) and pretty complicated.
The lesson we have to learn is that we develop a set of moral and ethical principles of our own. Once we are committed to them, don't deviate from them.
I assure you merit and talent finally triumph over other means. We should concentrate on enhancing our capabilities and believe me we will be rewarded in the end. For example, if your manager has reached to his position not by being qualified but using other means, and you are qualified for this job, you will bypass him either in the same firm or somewhere else.
I BELIEVE IT IS HARD TO KEEP A GOOD MAN DOWN FOR LONG. HE WILL FIND HIS WAY TO THE TOP.
Take Care
