Pros
If you sucked up to the right people, you could get away with anything.
Cons
- Dedicated employees were treated like background noise while the slackers who kissed up got showered with praise.
- Promotions felt like a joke - handed out based on who you laughed with during breaks, not how well you did your job.
- Showing up early, staying late, taking extra shifts-none of it mattered if you weren't in the clique.
- Watching lazy, careless workers get rewarded while others broke their backs killed morale fast.
- The blatant favoritism didn't just ruin motivation-it made the whole place toxic.
