you can work very hard or you can learn from me and suck up to your bosses. Stick close to them, always eat with them, buy them coffee, ask about their lives outside work as if they are the most interesting people, always show interest in whatever they're doing even if it's damn mundane, and occasionally throw a colleague under the bus. just keep doing this and very soon your bosses will only choose you to promote cause they will have a bad impression of your competition. They dislike people who don't follow their management style or do things differently
