I can confirm this works, and not just as the ladder climber. I was the boss at several previous jobs. I made a point of randomly buying a great office manager Panda Express orange chicken. Cost me all of $9 once a week to help make sure my right-hand woman was running the show properly. She was always grateful that I put the extra effort into making sure she had a little Saturday treat.

This also works as you're trying to climb the ladder too, no doubt.

I remember reading a study a few months back that found one of the most effective ways of being someone's "best friend" was to feed them regularly. They found it to be one of the most essential bonding experiences when you give people food. It is very primal and comforting at the same time.

Rep +1, in spite of the clickbait title.
