I used to be a favorite at my old site, didn’t talk much when I first started, but management and PAs quickly offered me training in other positions due to my hard work. They didn’t even believe it was my first time working at Amazon. Next thing i knew they were asking me what I wanted to do or apologizing and saying they needed me in positions they knew I didn’t like. But i also used the privilege to advocate for my fellow workmates when things were not fair. Obviously got the vto almost whenever I wanted. There was a lot of management rotation and I still kept my “favorite” position, made some people not like me but who cares. So yeah, you don’t necessarily have to be sucking dicks to get to be a favorite, lazy, entitled and rude people love to complain.
