if you like doing your job and going home, how do you bear with coworkers who are lazier but more popular than you and get away with doing less? (linux.community)

you might be an introvert, passionate about your job, or simply old enough to disregard friendships at work because you already have enough friends and a family.

The coworkers I like the most are the ones that come to work, don't like drama, do their job and go home. That's what I try to do.

However, there are always some established cliques who know how to play the unit / supervisor and get away doing much less, even feeling entitled to order you around, even though they are not your supervisor.

To people who experience this. How do you tolerate it? Even after changing jobs, this can happen at your new workplace, maybe it happens in every workplace?

If you like doing your job and going home

You enjoy your employment and you even enjoy your commute. Then what's the problem? Are your coworkers having an even better time at work than you are? I don't understand.
