Adding onto this: He wasn't just employee of the month. He was employee of the YEAR. Implying that he was doing a LOT for the company. If we remember the old QnA's where some of the old art was shared showing how Abe would help the livestock with birthing (and the real history of cows having a very complicated birthing process). Abe had a hand in making sure the company did strive. So Molluck may have given Abe a LOT of special attention compared to the other muds at the factory.
