Yep. I got a taste of that in my first gig, where the guy who always attended the "optional" office twice per week ended up getting the high profile project that drives the company, and they didn't even tried to hide it because they switched the team assignments a week before it began.
- assign low effort, high impact, high visibility, low risk projects to the most favorite engineers.
- assign high effort, low impact, low visibility, high risk projects to the least favorite engineers.
Favoritism in toxic orgs is the reward for "loyalty".
Another way is by reorganizing teams, assigning favorites to a team just before the completion of a project. Or assigning undesirable employees to a failed project.
