Most CEOs today, MBA or not have had to do many of the so called 'dirty' things that have been quoted here as examples. I think the Bond is a strict NO NO but i am unsure that the other examples are particularly wrong. Life is not easy and no company is going to offer you senior roles on a platter. The 'grind' has to be done by somebody, the question is who? Fundamentally most companies give you a broad idea as to what you are expected to do in your new job. IF they haven't, please ask. Whining on rediff is not helpful at all.
