AdvertisementClimbing the corporate ladder was once the cornerstone of the American dream.
Maybe that's why earlier this year, a young New Yorker struck a chord on TikTok when he vowed to "descend the corporate ladder."
Eventually, he got promoted into a corporate office role, and that opened up even more opportunities for advancement.
"That was a betrayal from a company I had been incredibly dedicated to," Zack told me.
Besides, the dream of climbing the corporate ladder was probably never as great as it seemed to be.
