Explanation

Having a vendor 'in your pocket' means having a strong, favorable relationship where they're reliably paid and motivated to work with you, not literally bribing them (that's corruption). It's about maintaining good vendor relationships through fair compensation, not pressuring them (that's exploitation) or mistreating them (that's unprofessional).
