Backstabbing horrid colleagues

[NewRedShoe]

Does anyone else have these?

I am 6000 miles away from the office (on business, not a holiday), and a backstabbing colleague and my untrustworthy ceo are conspiring against me, using my own assistant (who is obviously also not to be trusted 😔).

This is playing out with a massive time difference in a country where I cannot consistently access my emails.

I am thinking of finding a voodoo doll and stabbing it in the face repeatedly 😆

How the fuck do some people become such embittered, angry and nasty people? What has happened to make them so utterly repellent?

And more importantly, how do I just let it go so it never affects me like this and I never become like them? Voodoo doll clearly won't help!!

The marvellous Ms Moneypenny from the Financial Times always says there is a special place in hell for women that do not help other younger women. I want to be like that. Not what my colleague has clearly become. But I am obviously failing that as even my own assistant has no loyalty 😔

Urghh.

It's so fucking deliberate. They wait until I am out the country and then pounce.

I need a new job 😔

What are they up to?

Long back story ranging from petty things like locking me out of the building to "forgetting" to copy me in on things to deliberate misinformation, miscommunication, and verbally insulting me to clients that was overheard.

New one this time is taking on training of my own assistant in my absence in a particular area I am solely and completely in charge of, and using my office to do it.

This is an aspect of training that while I feel completely confident in, I recognise the need for outside help in the form of a fake audit, and so I had booked this and associated extra training for my assistant next month.

Yes, HR are aware and I started a formal grievance a while ago that went no where 😔 I need a new job 😔

I feel better for moaning though! Thank you.

Is your assistant definitely in on it? If she was told to do training by your boss maybe she didn't feel like she could say no?

Clutching at straws here I know

@Nowisthemonthofmaying I am trying to think kindly as well along those lines. But she knows that actually the right thing to do would be to check with me, and if not to at least check in my absence with my immediate line manager, who had no idea.

If they want you out then they can pay to get rid of you (or get an awesome new job!)

Keep putting in grievances if they are valid.

Yes, there is that. I have done nothing wrong, and I can keep putting in complaints.

ho hum. I will re do my cv when I get back.

I just wish I didn't feel this crap thousands of miles away from home. And thank god mumsnet works!
