if you like doing your job and going home, how do you bear with coworkers who are lazier but more popular than you and get away with doing less? - eviltoast

you might be an introvert, passionate about your job, or simply old enough to disregard friendships at work because you already have enough friends and a family.

The coworkers I like the most are the ones that come to work, don’t like drama, do their job and go home. That’s what I try to do.

However, there are always some established cliques who know how to play the unit / supervisor and get away doing much less, even feeling entitled to order you around, even though they are not your supervisor.

To people who experience this. How do you tolerate it? Even after changing jobs, this can happen at your new workplace, maybe it happens in every workplace?

    I feel like this is OK and it is not your real problem…

    feeling entitled to order you around, even though they are not your supervisor.

    …but this is.

    Do not play along. Learn to not get ordered around. Tell them / teach them that they can play their games at somebody else, but not at you.
