It is hard to imagine anyone wanting to work in a place where people brag about trying to look at their colleagues’ underpants, but slap a team logo on the door and a thousand other people will apply
Washington owner Dan Snyder listens to head coach Ron Rivera during a news conference in Ashburn, Va., on Jan. 2, 2020.When Toronto hustler Jack Kent Cooke died in 1997, he left a provision in his will that the jewel in his empire, the Washington Redskins, was to be sold.

Usually, this will have happened at the beginning of our careers, when we are desperate to make good and/or make a paycheque. As you get older, you learn to recognize this type of place and avoid it. You find some measure of stability and are less willing to be treated like a schmuck.You begin to understand that where you work or what you earn is less important than who you work with and for. When you find a boss who wants you to do well and puts you in positions to succeed, you grab onto that person like a life preserver and do not let go.
What is the effect of that profitability? It convinces the bozos on top they are geniuses. They don’t need to win in order to win. They are instead performing financial magic.
