Only the young ones take the stairs. You get to be important, it's the elevator every time. Can't waste energy on the stairs. Besides, it's a status symbol. I see you on the stairs, I know you're not important. I see you take the elevator to go down one flight, I know your time and energy matter, and you can't be wasting it on the staircase, sharing space with the people delivering mail, or the first-year associates still trying to wean themselves off the daily trip to the gym they no longer have the time for, or the inclination to bother with. When you're not meeting new people, who needs to look good anyway? At about four months in, most new associates have lost their youthful glow. They're pale, and puffy from lack of sleep. Their skin starts to react from the harsh lighting and lack of natural sunlight and weather, and the stress. The consistent and neverending stress. Their bodies start to adjust to the greasy takeout and they begin to get a little soft in the middle. Not fat, at least not too many of them. Fat is sloppy. But soft. Soft is good. If you're too fit we know you're thinking about other things besides the lease agreement. Not a good reputation to have. No client wants to see you order a salad at the steakhouse.
