social climbing
This term carries a strong negative connotation, implying a lack of authenticity and a willingness to manipulate others for personal gain. It suggests a calculated, opportunistic approach to networking where people are viewed as stepping stones rather than individuals.
Because it describes a general behavior or a social phenomenon, it is treated as an uncountable noun. It does not refer to a single event but rather a continuous pattern of behavior.
