Sometimes it’s couched as “team player”. Some jobs I had it absolutely mattered who you were friends with.
But briefly, am I right? That kind of problem is best solved by changing your work address.
Not always, it's mostly office culture in many places. Finding one where that doesn't happen is hard. Usually depends on the discipline the manager or boss has to not accidentally pick favorites and catch that behavior. Which doesn't always happen. There are some people, but they are a rare breed. People always end up forming cliques, and whoever is in the clique with the boss had an advantage in the workplace.
