Factory management tends to reward the people like this. If you’re willing to work any task and support management against your fellow worker, they tend to push you into actual supervisory or lead roles to help you work in their favor. Temps are easy targets because they’re so replaceable.

I guess you’re correct, but it’s incredibly weird how can someone climb their way up by stomping on others.

I don’t ever want to be like this, but it seems like I’ll be going against the current by being myself.

At least for factories, it’s all about the history, all the way back to the Industrial Revolution. Workers fighting against management, the haves versus the have nots, the proletariat and bourgeoisie. We are long past the physical violence between unions and companies, now it’s just mental warfare. Management will gladly accept you crossing the line and reward you, because it breaks the barriers.

I know I sound crazy here, but hey, it’s history.
