Have you ever been loyal to someone at work and been stabbed in the back?
What did you do?

@Littlelegskate you mean they have annoyed you so much you dream of payback

@tallpowerhouseblonde dream? No it’s past that I actively crave it

@Littlelegskate well don't let it turn inwards and choose your moment.

Yes, I have had that happen, when I saved someone's job only to have them turn around and stab me in the back. When the time came the second time to save their job, I just threw up my hands and said that it wasn't possible and enumerated how they had stabbed me in the back repeatedly, while I remained loyal to them. I would not intervene on their behalf for a termination for cause issue, due to their conduct with a client, and when the HR manager determined that termination was required, the decision was made.

@Spoiledbrat Thanks. I'm generally a nice person, so when I saw that his person took advantage of me the first time, there was no listening the second time around. However, there are better stories where I have put my faith in someone and have been rewarded -- I tend to remember those more.

Yup. I worked for someone that turned out to be a total snake in the grass and have also worked with people that were trouble.
It's best to just observe people at work first before you get chatting with them. There is always one that may feel threatened if you do your job well. The less they know about your private life, the better.
Glad I am retired for the time being.

@Littlelegskate, I feel you on that one. It's not easy at all, especially when you are there to earn a paycheck.
Good luck with it all.

@Littlelegskate, being young, you really do have many options. It will work out, even if a change needs to take place.

Happened to me b4 but determined how much it affected my job... actually in a new position now & I have been struggling & colleagues been helpful.. to a point... they seem to get fed up of me asking so many questions... now they seem to snitch on every wrong thing I do... it's taking it's toll & now I am looking for other jobs... some part I know they are finding it frustrating I am not grasping details but it doesn't help either that when I ask for help they don't give any help or very little help... then tell supervisor what I don't know. Dont want to be in that environment

@BondGirl84 see I’ve bent over backwards to help them and stopped them losing heir job 3 times in 4 months and now they’ve joined the 3 that we’re trying to get rid of them

@Littlelegskate waited for her to mess up and made sure everyone knew her mess

Yup at every job I've ever worked, several times each job.
That's what people do.

@Groofydorkgerdo Oh and they paid ...
Littlelegskate · 26-30, F
@Groofydorkgerdo what happened
Groofydorkgerdo · 56-60, M
@Littlelegskate Suffice it to say, they more than paid.
Won't mention it here, where the authorities could record it, may be incriminating.

The important thing is you were loyal to them so don’t stoop to their level or you’re just as bad.
