Or you are, but you don't have much of a choice in the matter, because their parents sit on the Board of Governors or sponsor the Frat or otherwise are the people you got into Harvard to suck up to.
It's like telling a young Mark Zuckerberg not to be nice to the Winklevoss Twins. He's not doing it because he likes them. He's doing it to leverage their family connections and wealth. Literally the whole reason anyone goes to Ivy League schools to begin with.
Sucking up to those people like that is one of the grossest things I can imagine doing. No fancy job title is worth that self-flagellation
If you look at the folks who sit on these boards and hold these C-level positions, quite a few of them are gross. Sarah Wynn-Williams's "Careless People" - an account of her time at Facebook - illustrates as much. Sex pests, glory hounds, money-hungry thugs, all orchestrated by a man-child so brain-rotted by his delusions of grandeur that he's stylized himself as Caeser Augustus.
It's not just about fancy job titles. It's about the money and the power and the sex and the celebrity (and plenty of drugs). It's living like a high schooler with rich parents well into your golden years.
