Flock Together!

People have different motivations to work.
But, the #1 activity on checklist they never shirk-

One act that shamelessly unites them together-
Efforts impressing their superior/leader!

Sycophants conspicuous everywhere happily fall!
How the bosses appreciate! Hold it all!

Lower-levels compete for favours to reach higher!
Game/cycle continues; sycophancy has buyers!

  3. Some like to go up the ladder the wrong way, just by being a "yes sir, you are right" You can spot them a mile away.
