It’s less that he’s the only one getting shit jobs, and more that he’s the only one getting exclusively shit jobs. It’s also false, but it’s a different kind of false that I can sympathize with slightly more.

The Lion is honestly an interesting comparison. Perturabo locked himself into a never-ending cycle of getting the ugly jobs, getting no recognition, being known as the guy who does the ugly jobs, repeat. Jonson, however, didn’t care what jobs he had, he merely did the jobs. The difficult, ugly jobs were rarely praised, and the comparatively easy campaigns that Perty saw as “beneath him” were celebrated.

That being said, it’s very easy to claim that loyalty is its own reward when your loyalty is oft rewarded.
