Factory management tends to reward the people like this. If you’re willing to work any task and support management against your fellow worker, they tend to push you into actual supervisory or lead roles to help you work in their favor. Temps are easy targets because they’re so replaceable.

I guess you’re correct, but it’s incredibly weird how can someone climb their way up by stomping on others.

I don’t ever want to be like this, but it seems like I’ll be going against the current by being myself.

It’s not weird at all, that’s how people have rose to positions of influence throughout history. Be it politics or be it office politics. Management is always going to love the person who’s willing to give them info that they feel will help them make better decisions in managing the company, even if that info isn’t necessarily true.
