The money train is usually the part of the company that attracts the wrong kinds of people. They know it’s the easiest way to succeed: by being part of the team that brings in a lot of revenue. It becomes easier to show your “contributions” in monetary terms even if you may have not been directly responsible for that. As a result, these competitive types will also try to remove anyone who isn’t an “ally” regardless of whether these people provide value to the business.

Ah, there it is. I had to learn this lesson the hard way, and let me tell you, the kool-aid is no longer so sweet. The money train is often just a mobile coliseum. There's no escaping the gladiator aspects role. It's disappointing.
