So my question is about how to stand up for others without harming my own position at work.
There is a situation at my workplace where certian people are seen as ‘golden’ and others are seen as ‘cannon fodder’ this is something I have actually heard one person in management say!
I am considered ‘golden’. So I dont experience the negative side of this situation.
However, I feel very uncomfortable with the dynamic and the fact that others are not treated with the same respect, given the same opportunities, cases to work on that I am.
How do I approach this? I dont want to be singled out as causing issues, I like the nature of my work, but I also see that over time this culture is not one I want to be part of, to support, even it if is by my silence.

I think you know what to do.
Brave is a decision we get to make every day.
I think people are put in our life as a gift, both that manager who thinks people are ‘cannon fodder’ and that colleague(s) you see being hurt, left out and discriminated against.
They are gifts to you.
They are invitations for you to open up and become who you are, to show courage, to show kindness, to show love and bravery.
What I hear in this message from you is that you heart/gut feels for those who are being discrimiated against. When your heart hurts for others that is a sign to DO SOMETHING. Please do not ignore this feeling. If you do you choose fear over compassion.
Do you want to be the smartest/golden goose in the office or the kind brave one?
Make sure you like your reasons for why you do what you do.
The fact you asked this question tells me you know what to do.
Much love to you my friend.
