skykittykat 0 #1 April 11, 2006 How do you deal with someone who constantly carries out of acts of unkindness to make themselves feel better? This is the situation I have found with someone involved in motorbike road racing and this person is now affecting my stepfather and friends. Amongst various things, these have been done: - Got someone fired by falsely claiming sexual harrassment (therefore taking over full power rather than sharing that job/power). - Dobbed someone into Immigration for no other reason than jealousy. - Recommending and being listened to into taking away an injured person's sponsorship although he would make a FULL recovery (again, through jealousy). - Being 2 faced, ie being nice to people's faces and then bitching about them behind their backs and trying to make their life as difficult as possible. - Creating false stories for a top team so as their sponsorship will be cut. - Various other "little" incidents that affect people in a significant way. Any advice? Liz p.s. I know I am not an angel and have done/said things, but I have always come forward and apologised (in case there are some glass houses, stones thrown comments!).

pincheck 0 #3 April 11, 2006 If you can avoid them completely but that may not be possible if that is the case. People like this usually dig a big hole for themselves sooner or later Liz. If they are part of a team then morale and team performance will head south rapidly as these people are really destructive just make sure that everyone is aware of her that you care about and let her self impload Billy-Sonic Haggis Flickr-Fun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People's usual reaction to something being wrong is to assume someone else will take care of it.

Richards 0 #5 April 11, 2006 People like that are not ever going to be on the endangered species list. You will always be dealing with someone like that. You will always need to be cautious around people like that. Try not to let them drag you down into the mud, and focus on being professional in every aspect of your job. Richards My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.
