You have no way of knowing that unless you got a pair of microscopes as eyes. And I hate snow - makes my bones ache with the chill.

Do you think there's a finely drawn line between being able to conform to your job without losing yourself and becoming a tool?

Corporate honchos can tie you around their fingers and puppetise you as much as they can, once they get the whiff that you are willing to conform for stepping higher in the managerial ladder. You have to be very careful in treading between the fine lines of conforming to their interests and standards as well as maintaining your dignity and say in several matters. Remember, the more higher you go, the more exposure you will get. One piece of advice - always be willing to put forth your opinions on certain matters, once you get a step up. They may not like it, but that way you can ensure to show them that you have an opinion independent from them, too.
