Pretty much every company I've been in or know of values a vertical trajectory instead of a horizontal one for its employees i.e becoming a manager nearly always means a faster salary progression than becoming an expert in one or multiple fields.

Why is expertise valued less?

I hate when people use "also" and "as well" in the same sentence, and I die inside when I catch myself doing it. Not hating on you, just suffering flashbacks.

    We all could learn to words more gooder.

    I've thought for a while adults should go back to school every ten years or so for some basic logic, driving, communication, and math refreshers.

    I can get behind that. Even more frequently perhaps. Its insane that for a task as dangerous as driving, once you pass at 18, you don't get re-tested until you kill someone...

    I have to do anti-sexual harassment training every year for work, communication/math/logic refreshers once a year would actually be a lot more beneficial.
