Evil People at Work

Tweet

Why are there always people on the job who want to get others fired? Someone I know recently resigned from their job and I'm pretty sure it had something to do with one of these situations. There is always someone who wants to take things out on someone who works under them, enjoy torturing a coworker, feel threatened by someone, or want someone's position. The level of drama on the job is amazing and too often it ends up with an innocent person losing their job. It happened to me in my last full time job. I was hired by the CEO, but the workers had actually wanted one of their friends to be hired. I never stood a chance! Everything I did was sabotaged from day one – even when I came in sick as a dog from food poisoning, I was criticized for barely being able to walk while other people who came in sick were treated like angels. I later found out half the things I was supposed to know – I wasn't taught so that I would purposely mess things up. When other staff made mistakes, I would be the one called into meetings with bosses and made to sign improvement plans...yes, for mistakes others made! All because I was hired for the job someone's friend wanted. And they made sure I knew that pretty soon after I started as well.
