#112692, "RE: Championing the other imms..."

>Then there are a few imms who (for whatever reasons) were >golden children from day one, could do no wrong, got promoted >through the immortal ranks faster than the norm, and who >seemed to rise much faster than was warranted.
As one of those golden children in my time, I'll tell you exactly how it happens: you put more time in and you do more work than your peers are doing. You volunteer for the jobs no one else wants and you do them to the best of your ability. You actually get things done where other people promise to do it and then disappoint. (Name your top 10 favorite departed non-IMP immortals and it's very likely 8 to 10 of them were terrible about this. I probably loved the same people and would love to have them back around, too, but it is what it is.)
Pretty much anyone who's made IMP did this at some point, too.
The one constant to how things run in immland as long as I've been around is: the people putting in the time and effort tend to end up with the say.
