My husband is cooking up plans to get rid of a passive aggressive in his workplace.
Have you ever had to work with someone who had an honest-to-God personality disorder?
What happened?
well i cant say if he's diagnosed or not
but i worked with a manipulative, two-faced, compulsively unreliable, psychic vampire of a man. i dont want to mention signs, but let's just say he was the textbook low-vibe of those signs. he tried every which way to rattle me... tried flirting with me, tried to rile me, tried to sabotage me, but as usual... secrets have a very short shelf-life around me and i caught on to him quickly. you can fool me once, but i will make damn sure you never fool me twice. our composite has sun square pluto. power struggles!
it was hard to handle at times for sure, but ultimately, he burned himself out. i just feigned ignorance, even though i knew exactly what he was up to.
i got to confirm my theory though, which is that people like that are there to distract you. if you sharpen your focus, don't let them distract you or over-react to their provocation, there's a good chance they eventually shoot themselves in the foot.
he brown-nosed the boss like crazy and she adored him, went out of her way to ''help'' him because he acted so helpless around her, managed to mesmarize a few of the coworkers with his flirting and charming, but he couldn't fool me and i saw past it, and i think that's why he hated me. good f*in riddance is all i have to say.
Yes, for the last 5 years. It's still going on. She is a triple Pisces, as glip as an eel. Most of her planets are in the 10th: she'll do anything for some recognition in the workplace. I eagerly awaited her Pluto transit in the 6th. Neener, neener.
Yes. Always drama in her life, in the workplace. People were afraid to cross her, afraid she would percieve anything they said as a slight. She would make up odd stories about herself, clearly lies, for no other purpose than for her own entertainment. A gossip. She even created this story about how her "sister" (actually a friend) had cancer and our boss wouldn't let her have time off to visit her. She was an admin, so everyone had to deal with her. She had good work skills but really, it was such a hassle. I have no clue why, with all the difficulties some people create, all the times people complain about them through the proper channels, nothing is ever done.
She was a Capricorn, that's all I know. I actually liked her on a non-work, casual acquaintance level, but such drama.....
"Have you ever had to work with someone who had an honest-to-God personality disorder?" Everyday! It's like high school hell for adults.
Two energy vampires/drama queens in the building plus two more energy vampires that call/email me from another company
2 pathological liars - they just get eye rolls from people, a 3rd pathological liar from another company. I had an email tantrum one day and I don't have to deal with him anymore.
At my final job there was a manager who was a control freak, not even in my dept., who was out to get me, for some reason. Behind my back. (Folks rarely confront me head-on.)
This was when I first got sick, had a hysterectomy etc. so I had bigger issues than her, and a boss who 100% had my back, so did not waste energy on it. Also, I was not her first/only target - it was some sort of serial pathological pattern & I was "it" at that time.
