I only say this because I used to be that "teacher's pet" guy. But my career has had much more upward trajectory, and I have had more fun by being actively sympathetic to my colleges mistakes and trying to "cover" for people instead of telling on them. Of course I'd never cover for someone doing something illegal, but I stopped looking at work as a contest where I wanted to look the best, and decided to help everyone put their best presentation forward. The weirdest thing is after I began to get a reputation for this, I am in a WAY better position to get someone fired if I really need to.
