Why Your Boss LOVES Your LAZY Coworker (and NOT You)

Your lazy coworker gets away with slacking because the boss… LOVES them. Yet here you are, working your peach off, yet it kinda seems like your boss hates you.

These rules will help you get on your boss’s good side (even if you won’t be the favorite at work this is important for your career success), and how to boost your relatability and likability.

How important do you think you boss liking (or at least not hating you) is for your career success?

[joestewart-paul]

This pretty much explains why good workers prefer to work alone

[chuguevskij]

In Russia there is a good proverb on this topic "The horse worked harder than anyone, but didn't become the boss in village". Thanks for the advice!

[linhngo]

It's because it's the wrong boss. The employees get away with what the Boss allows. The company is a reflection of the management. Things continue because people don't interfere. What is tolerated is expressed.

[kaleidojess]

Im not gonna be fake I’m there to do my job.

[Hardworking_Trucker]

After hitting my head on the wall for 25 years, I woke up saw the gory mess and became my own boss. No more boss relatability issues, no more Chads…..

Re: The first one. I once worked at a place where the top guy got into cycling during the Tour de France / Lance Armstrong craze. Almost overnight, all of the middle managers showed up with huge-dollar road bikes strapped to the top of their cars and could be seen wearing their spandex clown outfits. When the top guy moved on (got fired, actually), all of the bikes and spandex disappeared and the underlings went back to their true interests.

If you’re not part of the favorites and have other options.. might as well, leave. Find a team and company you can connect well. Brown-nosing is unhealthy and fake. Be in a place where you’re genuinely valued.

[BruklynGamr]

See I don’t have the time or mind space to do all of this and try to fit in. I am me and if you don’t like me for who I am “ Oh Well then!!

[pinkforeverlove]

As a person of color - it’s very hard to make that connection when your boss don’t see themselves in you or relative to you at all

[frodrz]

I had this happen to me. My coworker was my boss's favorite and I finally left. I was never going to win. After I left she got an even bigger raise. 😑

[apai]

OMG I thought I was the only one cursed with Slacker Chad coworkers - Slacker Chads are everywhere

[travisgarrett]

it's not what you say. It's not what you do. It's what you say you do.

[nathc]

The first part of being relatable goes a very long way. It’s difficult for women working in male dominated environments, or people from a different culture. Thos barriers can be difficult to break through.

[JohnBrown-wkio]

How do you not outshine someone who does nothing?I've been in this situation 3 or 4 times. If I didn't do my job then my job was over & if I out worked the slackers they worked to get me fired.

[pinkfuture]

Experience this. The lazy girl is friends with the manager and sleeps all day. While I become the scapegoat. Every mistake I make is being watched like I'm the worst person in the office. I'm good now

[samuelopoku]

This is sage advice. Things they don't tell you in school but should...

[anonanonymous]

I am in so much denial that this is how the world works! I do great work but disagreed with my boss and - just like that - my contract was not renewed. Are people really this insecure/easily threatened??

[jausel]

Those who, like me, are independent, critical, and... sarcastic... are better off by working on our own. Lesson from life.

[holayou]

Depending on the field you work, a lot of supervisors barely graduated high school. They lack a work ethic, morals and values. They get the job because they know someone, not because they are competent. They tend to protect the employees that are equally mediocre.
