Yes, I agree I do not "carry balls", unlike some of my
colleagues. I just do my job and try to do it well, and once I know
I did it well, I do not bother whether I shoudl brown nose the
authority or not. It is just not in me to do that.
I know he is biased towards some of those he is very close with,
esp those who always try to brown nose him. Those, even if they
spent hours on the phone while they are working, he does not say
anything towards them.
