What do you think is the best way to find a solution for favoritism and or unfair/unequal treatment? I’m pretty sure I can’t be the only one experiencing this type of response from those above me in the workplace.

We’d need more context to give you an actual recommendation or advice…

But blanketed not everything is favoritism or unfair/unequal treatment… everyone has their go to people… those whom they rely on heavily because they get the job done correctly the first time, efficiently and they don’t complain…

If you’re a complainer, then I guess your manager is right for having favorites and demonstrating unfair/unequal behavior…

1) Growing up.

No one promised life would be fair. It’s run by “people”, who by their nature are not infallible (and often jerks).

Sometimes that unfair treatment can rise to the level of illegal discrimination, when you’re being singled out for one of your characteristics (gender, religion, ethnicity, etc.) But managers/coworkers giving preference to their homies is just a fact of life.

2) Learn to play the game. The only way to change a bad system is to rise to the top so you can influence it.

I obviously don't know your situation and there are clearly some really bad managers out there, but sometimes it can look like favoritism but it's really a supervisor relying on people who have demonstrated that they can deliver/ can be relied upon.

I don't really want it to be solved. I've benefited from it at any job I've had. It's a good skill to learn how to be thr favorite.

Im putting in a 55” tv and need a recliner, lounge chair, or something of the sorts to put in front of the tv. Something where i can put my feet up. Conference calls are such a drag when i have to sit at my desk.
