Height means success, nothing else matters

Mrhuth

There is a reason why 90% of people in higher management positions are way above average height. The taller you are, the higher your position. Nothing else matters. I'm 6ft1 btw and I feel inferior. All the higher positions in my corporation are held by 6ft3+ meaning I have no chance. The ceo is 6ft6 what a surprise. Have a look at other corporations, you will find the same pattern, I can guarantee you.

It is very true in the building trade. Some small people end up in charge but mainly tall people. I think it’s to do with your leadership skills as well if you can boss people around all day without needing to use your size as a threat you can go up the ladder but it helps to be the biggest guy in the room when having a row.

I think what I’m trying to say is it’s easier to be the boss if it looks like you could bate everyone in the first few months establishing yourself over the team.

Marge Simpson says in an episode somewhere that Homer is Lenny and Carl’s boss because he is the taller of the three.

It's about how you hold yourself.

Maybe if you want to plug into the cubicle jockey corporate world, but if you don't and want to strike out on your own(which I would suggest you should, at least once in your life), there are enough examples of men(and women) of shorter stature and other so called "disadvantages" that made a diff and had great lives.

Maybe in low skill jobs like management but in high skill jobs like research or biotechnology it's IQ that matters.

Leadership qualities are far more important than how good you are at your job I’d say.

The best paid jobs are in finance and executive management. Not fluting about with test tubes or tapping away at a keyboard.

In the company where my other half works, his boss is a short arse. His bosses boss is smaller again and there's no denying that both of them suffer from a severe case of short man syndrome.

Or maybe your husband isn’t hitting targets. Gets a telling off and blames the guy for being short.

My wife would have no idea how tall any people in my job are I’d say that’s your husbands perception of things more so than the fact the two fellas shorter than him managed to get to a better position in the company than him.

In an office. Meetings of executive managers from multiple companies involve all of them being at least 6ft3. I feel like a dwarf and I am 6ft1

Ironically, you dont need to go up the ladder if you're tall.

Is it an office in the Netherlands by any chance because the average height of an Irish man is only about 5ft 9/10 i just dont see that many tall people on a day to day basis.

I'm 6'5", one of the most intelligent people where I work (and that's not me just bragging, as people often in work often say it), but I'm extremely unambitious. I've a fine job, my mortgage for a modest house paid off when I was 44, but I'd hate to be in management.
