In government work, the senior coworkers will not get a folder for you if you need one. Or put in a lab order if he bothers.
The same level coworker you ask to ask the senior for you, will not ask, for you. Simply because they are too lazy. Won't accept that I can't interact with said snr ahole.
Senior ahole always asked for favors until I had zeroed time for that bullshit, just because me and him went to the same school.
Boundaries first 🥇
Senior coworkers won't lift a finger unless it effects them. Being their slave is hard work.
