I simply ignore them and do my job the best I can. No need to waste my time with the people who can't take ownership of their jobs.

Oh my god...
Man NT I have this fat Greek dude I work with and this dude is the brown noser of all brown nosers... ever.
He used to come into work on his day off (Friday) so he could buy our Director at the time lunch.
It's so disgusting man like I don't know how this dude can look at himself in the mirror.
He gets super mad if someone else is talking to or cool with said Director.
The guy drives every morning to pick up and drop off the Director to work.
It was our old Director but he has since moved up higher in the ladder and dude still fetches him lunch every single day not joking.
And he talks like he's this big macho can't be touched John Gotti type dude but in front of the said Director he's like a jester or peasant so to speak.
He's is such a BS artist, but his daughter is smart but is as much a snake as he is, but because of her Fathers sucking up she was able to climb up in the company rather quickly because said Director and plus the VP of the company (suck ups daughter buys the VP StarBucks and whatever else) and they both recommend her on interviews and then the person hiring is put in a tight spot because how do you turn her down and the VP and said Director who is higher now recommends her.
You guys would not believe the level of brown nosing this guy does.
Is this customary of Greeks?
Suck ups and leeches get places in America. Im just saying. Don't rely on management to see your hard work, cuz you'll def be disappointed.
curious to hear your reasoning
You don't have to kiss *** to be successful in the corporate world. I never did, never will. Just do your job to the best of your ability, work hard, get your **** done, and your work will do the talking to the point you don't have to brown nose.
Man I am sure your supervisors know that those people are suck ups. Do your thing, don't even acknowledge what those losers are doing man. Just do your job
Some people love having their ego stroked and having people make them feel like they're kingMan I am sure your supervisors know that those people are suck ups. Do your thing, don't even acknowledge what those losers are doing man. Just do your job
Some bosses just eat that stuff up tho.
I'm working alongside a fellow intern this summer and for the most part we get along fine. One thing that's started to bug me though is the extent to which they try to make themselves look good in the eyes of management. Not only that, but they jokingly (or are they?) make me look bad. They'll reference times where I made a mistake on the first week of the job and lecture me on certain things in front of others that I already know about.
The thing that really gets me is that I outwork them practically every day. It's not even just my opinion either; I've had a coworker or two tell me about times where they overheard them complain as they did tasks that I regularly do. I don't think management sees this though. They see them answer obscure questions that they learned sitting and talking/reading while I was busy working, or the recognition they and their mentor, the HR manager, always publicly give each other.
It wouldn't be a big deal if it wasn't for the setting, but since it's an occupation it actually matters. We each have a big presentation later this month and I have a feeling they'll try and one-up me. I've thought about talking to someone about it, but figured they'd make the situation bigger than it actually is or that it'd make me seem pretty desperate.
What's the best way to deal with people like this in the workplace? Does brown-nosing typically have the desired effect or can people usually see through it?
text homie a pic of your gun
Sometimes just doing your job won't get you anywhere or noticed... Because that's what you're expected to do!
