The favoritism is extremely serious. Coworkers love to gossip behind people’s backs. As long as you are not part of their little circle, for example, if two people make the same mistake, the person in the circle gets away with it while the person outside the circle gets scolded, and people will spread gossip about them everywhere. Or, as long as your behavior is something they cannot understand, they will talk about you—even if you simply leave work at a normal time, they will say that you are not dedicated to your work.
Neither the interview nor the onboarding process informs you that you are required to write reading reflections and reading-aloud reflections. You only suddenly find out during the monthly meeting. New employees do not have to write a reflection the first time, but after submitting one the second time, you may be unexpectedly called on to read it aloud. Submitting the reflection is mandatory, and your pay will be deducted if you do not submit it.
Even some supervisors do not act like supervisors and love to speak badly about others. They believe whatever the favored employees say. Many coworkers like people who are flattering or cute, such as new employees. If you are categorized as part of their small group, mistakes or careless work are treated as if nothing happened. But if you are not in the small group, even if you remain polite, they will gossip and speak badly about you behind your back whenever you make a mistake. There are also experienced coworkers who do not get along with them and are often targeted.
If you are accidentally injured at work, the favored employees will say behind your back that you have tarnished the company. They have no empathy.
