Does karma come back on others? Any examples directed related to their traitorous behaviour?

[BoundaryGirl3939]

Do you have examples or evidence of karma come back on the perpetrators? Do people reap what they sow eventually?

I'm asking because I've been f*cked over by a colleague. She will get away with what she's done as she didn't break any rules but morally what she did was very, very wrong and cruel. I 100% didn't deserve it but she has since gaslit me and acts as though she did nothing wrong. In reality she is a snake in the grass and I'm only realising this now. I'm wondering if she will pay on some level for this?

But what's done is done. It's not a case of being too lazy or unimaginative to do something. I can't. I still need to be professional and earn my pay. She has lost a friend but I'm not going to sacrifice my reputation or career getting personal revenge. And that's the case for most others. We need to move on and away from these people. There is no other option but to.

Sorry to hear that. Bad actions lead to self destruction.

The worst is colleagues who smile at you yet they are stabbing you in the back. My colleague gave me a judas hug after she did the dirty.

Honestly, the best revenge is indifference and living your own best life, not waiting for other people to encounter misfortune

I was bullied in my first job. Subsequently came across my former boss as a client. Her life hasn't turned out well. I wasn't rubbing my hands with glee. I just felt sorry for her

(But I'll admit I quite like the stories of new nightmare neighbours)

Yes.

I did something awful. Blew peoples life adapter as I was stupid and selfish.

my life has been awful, I’ve paid for it everyday.

Blew people's life adapter? I don't understand.

I forgot about my school bully

She bullied me all through primary school

Lost contact with her at primary-she'd made my life hell but as she was a favourite of the teachers (and this was the 80's where bullying wasn't seen as damaging) so she got away with everything

Fast forward,my ds starts school and becomes friends with a lad

Her ds (I'll give her credit-he was a lovely young lad) but I refused to have anything to do with her

(he was more than welcome at our house but I made sure I picked him up/dropped him off at home as I didn't want her at mine)

Suddenly her face was in a women's magazine (take a break or that's life style of magazine)

She had a condition that made her sweat smell really badly of poo,fish and b.o

Apparently she could clear a room,it was that bad-I never got that close to her

Can't say I felt too bad for her really-life swooped in and took its revenge

Karma of sort at work:

• I have a long term health condition/disability and was really, really poorly last year and ended up having some time off. Manager was awful about it and tried to ignore my GP's recommendations for reasonable adjustments to be put in place on my return, minimising my condition although what I had gone through was life threatening.
• Same manager/company now being taken to an employment tribunal by a disabled team member for disability discrimination. The manager made the mistake of messing with an employee who had worked for years for a health charity supporting other people with their condition including in the workplace, knows their right and has support to take legal action.

I think it is a good example of what goes around comes around. I think it is logically that if you live life messing other people around and being a general asshole, sooner or later you will face the consequences.

Maybe it's as a poster said up thread. Not karma but life biting them. But it doesn't reconcile with us being treated poorly.

I just don't believe you get away with things. I do think with the things that's happened to me this year and some other years, that some cannot stand it because they know you know. I'm a good judge of character and whilst I'm easy going I pick up on nonsense.

I do wonder with my ex friend whether she was happy I was going through such an awful time. And how long she had been waiting for it.

She lost a friend and presumably the trust of other people that know what happened.That’s her "comeuppance " . Whether she cares or not, it's a different story.

If other people do it to her as they'll see her as fair game now, that's not karma, that's a natural consequence.

If she gets run over by a bus , that's not karma , that’s life/a coincidence. Same with other shitty things that might happen in her life.

Usually no they find an equally abhorrent family to join forces with and they most likely never cared about their children to begin with

Let's put it this way, do you believe you did anything to deserve this bad thing happening to you? Was it karma for something you did , or just bad luck? Is there someone out there thinking it was karma getting you for whatever(no matter how small)? How do you feel about that?

My mum has always said "you can fool all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but never all of the people all of the time"

What you are describing OP is someone whose behaviour will sooner or later cause themselves difficulties. It might be a week, month or decade but those kind of people always get found out.

I did think about that during this thread, and I can honestly hand on heart say no. I've never shafted anyone. I experience a guilty conscience if I feel someone is hurt, even if I have nothing to do with it. I apologise for things even if it's not my fault. I let things over my head to keep the peace. I could be more assertive though. And I don't think said colleague imagined her actions would be so exposed or obvious.

Yes, it's since become apparent to me that she has hurt 2 others. I wasn't fully aware of the details until this weekend. Damaging your relationships at work is never a good idea.

Blew their lives apart. Autocorrect and I can’t see well.

I had a boss years ago who was a nasty bully, it was a retail job and she'd come to our branch as manager when the shop she worked for previously went bust and shut down. She came in and systematically bullied all of the existing staff, including myself, until they left for other jobs so she could give their jobs to all her old pals from her previous store. A few months after I left that company also hit financial trouble and decided to close several less profitable stores, including the one I previously worked in, meaning her and her friends were made redundant again. Maybe not "karma" in the spiritual sense but it was fully deserved.

In Buddhism karma will might be the reason the OP is experiencing life as they are ...
