I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem - especially in corporate - but have you ever had one or more colleagues actively want to sabotage your career progress and blatantly undermine you by constantly writing peer reviews about you in an unnecessarily negative and aggressive way while they themselves advance and steal your progress?

I have been through such toxicity. I've had colleagues do this - colleagues who didn't like me as a person, all conspiring against me (no joke - I saw it at the water cooler talk). I sure hope this doesn't happen too often to people.

    and management rewards it (if you point it out, not just accidentally because the impression management worked) =]

    actually in retrospect my achievements never got me anything, even when management full well knew themselves what they were, even made memes about me around the office. so it is quite interesting that the backstabbers get rewarded. because it isn't reward based on achievements... so it must be some other proxy

    When i worked for community service in a recycling factory, there was a lot of hierarchy. And i noticed that how bigger the boss, the bigger the bastard. They would rat out each other for sure! One time one of the bosses said "I am just dropping by to check if you have listened well". LISTENED WELL? Wtf. But that's normal in such places. But bastards, bastards everywhere.

    Yes. I have two examples in mind, both at previous company. One, a young whippersnapper who would often bitch about me having no clue about the background behind the thing he was bitching about. The other one kept bitching about completely unimportant things, yes - just to get me into trouble. Good thing was that most people, including my superior saw through the charade.

    @jestdotty Management sadly does, except the very few good ones.

    Making memes about a co-worker... that would not be allowed, or should not be allowed at an office with a no-bullying policy. It is rewarded based on backdoors and camaraderie, so yeah.

    @D-4got10-01 It's amazing how these guys often assume the worst of their colleagues. Yeah, that reminds me, my colleague also bitched every single unimportant detail to me, to the smallest detail, in front of the manager, just so I could look really, really bad and the manager would get mad at ME, instead of seeing through his game. Good thing they saw through it. Sadly in my case, the other team and the manager were all big big buddies.

    Humans may be more closely related to apes genetically, but our behavior is closer to that of wolves.

    It's why dogs are called mans best friend.

    1. dance battle

    2. boxing duel

    3. infiltrate their lappy , start a darknet market, and then call the swat

    @Wisecrack chimps will premeditate (days, even weeks), conspire, and commit murder. Not sure if wolves will do that or not.
