Inadvertantly bad I think.
Mrs Sandettie used to work in the reception of a hosptal lab, processing samples as they arrived. After a few years, she moved to a different part of the lab and moved up a pay band. This caused some contention with a few of the staff she worked with, especially a couple who had applied for the same job and had been there longer. Apparently though, it's a points based system once in the interview room.

My response was "fuck em, if they can't be arsed to progress and are happy to stay in the same job for years on end, that's their outlook"

15 months later, she managed to progress again. A different part of the lab, immunology or haemotology I think; more hands on, more advanced duties, a damn sight more interesting. This annoyed yet more people, especially one guy who has a science degree, whereas Mrs SLVA has a 'c' in GCSE biology from 20 years ago.

Now, much like me, she will not brown nose anyone, at all. She gets on with her work. Yet her new boss thinks the sun shines out of her arse and is pushing her more, putting her on an NVQ course with the aim of getting her onto a degree course.

She was recently given the task (which should've been carried out by someone more senior) of going back down to the reception and 'training' her former colleagues to make sure there are no gaps in their knowledge. I told her that it will reveal who her true friends are, and frankly it has.

I don't know if this seemingly preferential treatment outweighs the friction it causes.
