They did it because they love organizing and running profitable retail

I hope Staples has a senior buyer who actually
does love office

the topic they're writing about. It's easy, though, to fool ourselves into
believing that going up the ladder means we get to do more of the thing we
started out doing.
It's often the case that the people we surround ourselves with (and the
tasks we do) have far more to do with job satisfaction and performance than the
subject of our work.
