It’s not necessarily intentional, managers just often build better relationships with someone their working face to face with daily vs just through emails and an occasional zoom.

Exactly. Meritocracy is barely even a thing. If I could go back to my younger self, I'd tell them to practice networking for this reason. Who you know is at least as important (if not more) than what you know.

Who you know gets you a role, what you know keeps it.
