[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think the question is rather are there any offices where there aren't favorites? My office is very dysfunctional. The people who have no experience on an issue are included in a meeting and the ones with experience are excluded.[/quote]

Well, yeah, definitely I'm interested to hear about places where there is an active effort on the part of the company/org to discourage favoritism.  I think favoritism is sort of a natural thing that happens in group dynamics, but it is toxic for the workplace.  And I think it affects productivity.

So does anyone have examples of ways the company discouraged favoritism?

The companies I can think of have matrixed management structures, so no one manager can exert too much positive or negative influence on a person's career.  So if your resource manager thinks you're the best thing ever but your work doesn't show it, the project managers' feedback can counteract that and vice versa.  [/quote]
