Exactly. IF the person messed with me FIRST ...I would as well. If that person was a scheming, plotting viper of a lowlife..I would in a heartbeat. When I was supervisor at a position I held in 2009-2010 I set up such 2 non-performing lowlifes to get fired. They were. The rest of the co-workers and subordinates learned the lesson real quick: "do your job and do it well. Don't try to do evil things to me." I will crush you like a bug. -

No, there's no need to start trouble for no good reason.

No. They usually sabotage themselves just fine without my help.

Not only is it a horrendous thing to do it could be dangerous for all in the office. We're living in a very stressed and angry society. People aren't accepting injustice like they used to. My last corporate job was in an environment of racism, sabotage, lies, revenge, and rage. Everybody had to watch their back in more ways than one. I thank God everyday I am no longer in corporate america.

How does sabotageing a co-worker help the organization? Employees need to realize that they are a part of something much bigger than them. It is not up to an employee to mess with or care what another employee does with the companies time. Why should I care that someone not under my control wastes the employers time and resources? The only thing that I as an employee should care about is how I am benefiting the organization that I choose to work for.

It is the job of management to determine which employees should stay or go. If someone is not pulling their weight within an organization or providing a benefit to the organization then maybe management needs to look into that and take care of the problem. As an employee though that is not my problem but the problem of management. Let them figure it out. My job is to produce more than I did before. I like being a top employee. The fact is that slackers make those of us that produce look even better. LOL

EXCELLENT POST!!!

The mindset of the snitch/saboteur/brown-noser is the same -- they do what they do to (1) win favor with the boss and (2) so they will be rewarded with either praise or promotion/money. MOST bosses know who these people are and use them for what they're known for, but always passing them up for promotions or raises. Sure, the boss will praise the heck out of them for being the coax to the workers' gossip and misbehavior, but when it comes down to who gets what....it won't be the snitch/saboteur.

No, but hateful/jealous/negative people will sabotage you subconsciously.

Example: they will look at you funny and speak in a nasty tone to you, making your happiness/morale at work decrease.

Example: They will say nasty things about you to other co-workers and even bosses if they are friends/sleeping with the boss.


This happened to me. Worst work experience ever.
