My nephew, who is also a member of MENSA, recently
went to a job interview. On his resume, he listed
his MENSA membership. The interviewer, who would
have been his future boss said, "You're a member
of MENSA? You want my job, don't you?" My nephew
took the MENSA line off his resume. :-)

Yes, I have seen it time and time again ... people are fired for
proficiency, IQ, skills, warm personalities, etc. I have seen gifted
individuals sabotaged, setup, conspired against, etc. Has made me very
slow to react on job performance evaluations given by others on an
individual(s.)

The idiots of the world have a mission and a lot at stake, they will
"kill" competition on sight! This is used as a strong "survival skill"
by them ... convince the nephew that there is a lot to be had by
"dummying up" at the correct times and places.

Sometimes you wonder if this is not the major force at work in large
corporations?
