Every
boss has a favorite. I know they/we shouldn’t, but it is human nature. It goes

If
you have got a boss who is going to have favorites, you can buck the system or
try being the favorite. If you do become
a favorite, don’t for heaven’s sake flaunt it amongst your colleagues. Be
self-effacing and deny it, be humble and don’t acknowledge it, be modest and
pretend it ain’t going on.

“To get to be a

genuinely deserve it because you are dependable or reliable or efficient or
honest, then your colleagues will just about put up with it.

you will know what is going on, be in with the in-crowd, have the ear of the
boss of other departments and you have joined the elite. If, on the other hand, you really disapprove
of favoritism do none of this.
