I'll paste some excerpts:

"One study showed that 56% of managers had a favorite in mind for a promotion before the formal review process began—and the pre-selected favorite received the promotion 96% of the time! The shift to hybrid and remote work has only exacerbated the problem by intensifying issues of proximity bias, our preference for those who are physically closest to us."


"When you feel overlooked or like you’re being unfairly passed over for promotions or other desirable assignments, it’s natural to feel insecure, frustrated, or resentful. However, allowing yourself to get distracted by these emotions may hold you back."

"When we feel threatened or stressed, we’re more susceptible to mental traps, like negativity bias and other common thinking errors. For instance, you may magnify one negative comment from your manager, ignoring their many positive remarks. These traps can create a debilitating negative spiral that leads to self-defeating behaviors, like shutting down or reacting poorly. For your performance, relationship, and mental well-being, it’s essential to loosen that emotional grip."


"Accepting that your feelings are valid can go a long way toward reducing their potency and their power over you. When you think about the situation, consider the possibility that you don’t have all the information, and counter your negative feelings by reminding yourself of instances when your boss has treated you well. If favoritism is what’s going on, do your best not to take it personally."


"Favoritism typically has much more to do with your boss maximizing their own self-interests or lacking awareness of their implicit biases." (this part made me wonder if this just simply cope or perhaps it's a fundamental aspect of "dont take shit personally in life")

anyways what's your thoughts on this tc?
