Hi Khadir,
Thanks for your comments, but I still stick with the same fact as I said before. The boss is the final decision-maker. If you satisfy him, you are inside the company. If not, you know what happens. This occurs in all organizations. I have seen many employees who have given everything to the company and received no rewards because of the bosses. Truth hurts, but we can't avoid it.
Apart from being straightforward, also try to learn the company culture. This will help you in the future. Let me remind you of one thing: Employees leave the company not because of jobs, but because of bosses. I hope you understand.

Hi Khadir,
First, you should understand one thing: Employees leave a company not because of the job, but because of bosses. The boss is the decision-maker regarding an employee's future. An employee without the support of their boss will definitely struggle to survive in the organization until they win the hearts of their team and boss. Apart from being straightforward, you have to concentrate on the present organizational culture, which will help you grow even better.
Thank you for your comment.

A very sensitive question and a good one too.
Advantages of being a Boss Favorite:
1. You have complete right to do anything (No one asks anything or obstructs).
2. You will be provided less work than others (But payment is in full).
3. For the time being, you will be treated as special (Lemonade by others).
Disadvantages of being a Boss Favorite (Keep Counting):
1. You will always be disliked by other colleagues within your office.
2. You will lose your strength, ability, talent, internal feelings day by day.
3. You will be the first to be terminated once the Boss gets changed.
4. You will not have a good reputation in the organization as they see you like a spy of the Boss.
5. You will be habitual of being dependent in your life wherever you join.
6. Last but not least - You are wasting your prestigious time buttering up to the Boss, instead of gaining knowledge and experience.
Advantages of being a Trusted Team Player:
1. You will have self-confidence, with a good display of strength, talent, trust, ability, etc.
2. You will be liked by all members and colleagues within and outside of the organizations.
3. Your reputation will be much higher than the Boss's favorite.
4. You will not be worried about any termination, as you will stand alone in any circumstances.
5. Your hard work will be appreciated by members at any cost.
Disadvantages of being a Trusted Team Player:
1. It's only one point - that you are not the Boss's favorite... But your honesty and hard work will count for sure.
Thank you.

Dear Mr. Matheen,
I do agree with you, but do remember that organizations are losing TALENTED WORKFORCE, which is a major reason for ATTRITION besides PAY/COMPENSATION. There are many talented employees who believe that if not this organization, someone else will hire their services.
I seriously don't want to grow by buttering up a wrong or bad boss just to safeguard my job. I would love to support a GOOD BOSS out of my way. I am sure there are GOOD BOSSES in this world.
Moreover, when you match your frequency with your boss, let's say a good matured (by all means) boss, then you can see the major difference in your life. This is the fact. A GOOD BOSS will never promote WRONG THINGS or MOVES.
Very few have tried their best to change their boss's mentality.
So, why do you worry about yourself when you are not wrong? It is our HONESTY that supports us, and even a BAD BOSS cannot harm us.
What Mr. Sayeed wrote is a fact.
ADVANTAGES of BEING A TRUSTED TEAM PLAYER or EMPLOYEE are more than "being BOSS'S FAVORITE."
I have one practical query for you; I hope you will respond positively.
"Just assume that your boss has done injustice to other employees. You have realized the fact that your boss made a wrong decision.
a) Now, do you still support your boss? or
b) try to convince him to change his decision
c) What if you fail to gain the TRUST of those employees, as you all need to support each other. Can you and your boss manage the organization without the support of other employees?
With profound regards,
From India, Chennai

(Cite Contribution),
In today's world, bosses need to know what 'drives' the employees. If impressing a boss is a driver, then one needs to leverage it to bring the best out of the organization. Writing them off is probably the wrong thing. One needs to know how to manage the situation rather than get swayed otherwise! The problem is that one could many times be both, yet suffer (in line with Sayeed's post). Matheen is not wrong because if the boss is oriented to the organization, your impressing him will mean that you are definitely oriented to the organization! Let's face it... After all, as they put it in the US, the paradigm reads: It's my way or the highway!

To become a favorite with the boss, one must be a trusted and proven team player. However, this will only be applicable where the organization and the boss have trust and rely on the strength and decisions of trusted team players. Once the boss shows bias towards someone, keeping them in his good graces and believing everything they say, it can create a toxic work environment.
As mentioned by Ms. Cite Contribution, if the boss prioritizes the organization and values trusted team players, the workplace will be a haven for sincere workers and trusted team players. This approach will ensure that the organization stays ahead in all aspects.

Even a mother has favorite children, so why deny the boss? Our discussions may not remove the phenomenon of bosses having favorites. It's natural!
Most of you are talking less about what the preferred choice should be; rather, you are trying to tell how the boss should be.
It's interesting how one is extrapolating it to the organization being good or bad when this is actually an individualistic phenomenon!
