My job is so frustrating sometimes because there is clearly favoritism amongst our entire team. How would you approach this situation if you’re not a favorite?

If I’m honest I’d start looking for other opportunities
Favoritism can be OK sometimes but usually it’s just toxic

Yes it’s getting super toxic!

I feel like there is favoritism at every company to be honest. I learned a long time ago you have to play the game. If it gets to be too much, I would look for other opportunities.

Yea this is the first time I feel like I’m not a favorite and not sure how to navigate that

The key is to be settled about it and try to make yourself more likable. You can’t confront it head on because not only will you not getting anywhere it actually looks bad on you. You have to learn to play the game. It’s sad but true.

Need help settling a debate with my friend. She thinks I will have an easier time getting research grants because I'm male.

Which one of us is more right than the other? I'm interested in getting as many viewpoints as possible, whether or not they agree with me or with her. Thanks!!!
