OK, we get it. You are insecure and have sociopathic tendencies. Not sure why you feel the need to keep posting about it unless you also have a healthy dose of narcissism, which may indeed be the case.

I wish I could say that you'll suffer for it but considering the corporate world is littered with sociopaths who make everyone around them miserable and leave, you'll probably do quite well. Can I suggest a job in Finance?

The other posters aren't deluded. They are normal. Unfortunately I don't think you are capable of understanding that.

Sigmund Freud would, oftentimes, open up a session by asking a client:

What is that irritates you the most about other people?

And how many innocent people answered that question honestly, and, in turn, placed themselves in a cage they couldn't claw their way out of!

I wisely ask that question, if I'm in a single's bar, "interviewing" a potential date. Works like magic!

Ask me that question, sometime, and I'll give you the most dishonest answer I can muster, just to be on the safe side!

Samston,

I think you want a raise or a promotion. I also think you want to stop working in a team with those people you keep bringing up. You are like a caged animal. I personally hate working in teams. Destructive competition amongst co-workers is bound to happen. Sometimes mobbing happens to eliminate the perceived "villain." It will inevitably happen.

How do you know he isn't dealing with a passive aggressive sociopath woman? It takes one to know one. Plus you said it yourself, they make everyone around them miserable and leave. Sometimes the sociopath leaves and of course there are three or four sociopaths waiting to take over his or her bulldog tasks.

How is showing one instance of non-kindness bad? some people deserve it/warrant it. the other posters aren't nice people, so they deserve it too.

I accept humanity as it is. which person does not? do you?

I think you clearly don't understand human interaction, and need correction in that regard.

Something to think about.

you deserve punishment, since you're deluded and not nice.

I'd venture to say you are only not a better employee, but you are seriously lacking in any and all human interpersonal skills to manage on a daily basis.

Many companies offer reimbursement for courses related to your job, even if they are non-accredited, self improvement classes and look favorably on those who take such initiative. Maybe, you could talk to your boss or HR about this.
