The value of sucking up

[Anomalocaris]

I used to work at a rental car place, and I had a boss, who was a big fat white dumbass, and I never respected him, he was actually a jerk to anyone he couldn't take advantage of, which included me, I always did the opposite of what he wanted me to do, but I never got fired, and then that guy eventually left, and was replaced by a handsome black man, who I immediately had a crush on, and I did everything he wanted me to do, and I loved his voice, he just had a strong, commanding presence, but anyway, since I was such a good little employee, I got a raise, but unfortunately, I had to leave the job soon after that, for mental health reasons. But I sucked up to that black guy pretty hard, and I don't mind that I did that, I had never sucked up to anyone before, I guess it just takes the right person to bring that out of me.

Have you ever sucked up to anyonre before? If so, what did you get out of it?

2 observations:

1.  You worked in a job in which expectation of the value that can be added by living breathing sophisticated product of 4 billion years of macro-evolution is apparently quite low. 

2.  You can’t deliver that value, maybe because you only had 6000 years of micro-evolution behind you? So you had to make up by sucking up.
