How to deal with favouritism in my team? /u/oppalissa CSCQ protests reddit

So in my team there’s the bug fixing team and the sprint team that consists of both bugs and working on stories.

At the start of the sprint there’s one guy who always tries his best to convince the team to take the stories and the team lead and managers always prefer him working on them because he’s fast.

When I told them in the sprint that I want to work on the kanban the team lead didn’t care and said we’ll see but did nothing.

Essentially this is office politics, but it feels more like favouritism because 90% of my time is on the bug fixing team for the last 2 years.

How to approach this to my manager? I already talked to him about it and he said I will work on features and not to worry but he never made an effort at actually making it happen.
