what's wrong with my mindset right now
    #7761664 - 12/15/07 12:34 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

I got this bitch that I work with who's trying to get me fired right now...



a little background information on this one:

- she's a bad worker...period
(for a billion reasons I'm not even going to go into right now)
- she got her position by building herself up to be something she simply isn't
(doing piddly little pissant shit that generally doesn't get done, while simultaneously neglecting the things that need to be taken care of)
- and I helped her paint that image
(because I had hoped she'd realize the errors of her way in good time)

- she got her promotion before me
- I bit my tongue
- everyone else resented her for it
(because she didn't deserve her promotion)
- and I still supported her

- management caught on to the fact that she was a pathetic employee, and put the fear of god in this woman
- and she then played the pity card in order to get transfered over to days in order to save her own ass...while simultaneously booting my ass back down to nights, and taking my fucken place as 'manager-in-training' simply because she was the one that was working with the HNIC one on one during the daytime

- I still turned the other cheek

- the other employees there had their problems with her...because...she was such a power hungry twat that was constantly going out of her way to make them feel inferior about the fact they didn't have the maroon colored shirt that came with her position (nevermoind the fact that she still had yet to earn it)
- and management was helping her with this (or *trying to* rather)
- but she continued to go out of her way to fuck with people
----- she knew her ass was on the line
----- she knew that other people there were better then her
----- and she *knew* that it was only a matter of time before that became apparent
so she abused her power / and started finding reasons to get rid of her competition

- and one by one she found ways to get rid of several different good employees
(sending em home for piddly ass crap, and then building it up to be way more then what it actually was to management...and doing this sort of shit over and over and over again just to make it seem like these people are becoming problems for the company, so that they get the boot instead of her)

- and I just bit my tongue throughout all of this

my thought process at the time was that:
A) it wasn't my battle to begin with
and that
B) if they weren't willing to put up a fight - then they weren't worth keeping around anyway

I'm sorry...but that's just how I feel







but the time's come now where she's coming after my ass now
(and for reasons I can't even begin to fucken fathom on this one)

- I supported her when her ass was ina ringer
- I stood up for her when nobody else fucken would
- I rooted her on even when she was fucking me over royally

and now she's coming after me???





I don't even know what to do in this situation...but I can't help but feel like I gotta do *something* about it
but what the fuck can I do at this point  :confused:



and is it wrong for me to feel like I'm being backed into a corner on this one?
(considering the depths this woman will stoop to secure her own grandiosity)

Always have to stick up for yourself. Turning the other cheek in the world how it is will only hurt you in the end. Nobody cares about eachother, everyones in it for themselves. Personally i think you should take this women aside and put, I hate to use this again, the fear of god in her.


--------------------
He did not laugh as his eyes stopped in awareness of the earth around him. His face was like a law of nature-a thing one could not question, alter or implore. It had high cheekbones over gaunt, hollow cheeks; gray eyes, cold and steady; a contemptuous mouth, shut tight, the mouth of an executioner or a saint.

If you wake up at a different time in a different place, can you wake up a different person?

Cf. A.C. Doyle "I'll rise above this, you can't keep me down, for I am Divine, and I know it all too well."

you know it's funny that you should say that...cause I was thinking the same exact thing myself  :yesnod:



I was just worried that *maybe* I was blowing things out of proportion on this one too  :shrug:

She's a minature Stalin-- this is the way power freaks operate. Your mistake was supporting her in the first place. Why the fuck did you do that? How about talking to management? It sounds like they're at least partially aware of what a lazy bitch she is. Get her fired and end her tyrannical reign.

i mean you have to have a clear mind

if you stick up for yourself it has to be in the right way, calm and cool and without judgment or hatred or negativity

these are hard things to do you know

imagine you took a decent hit of acid, on a come down, full of confidence and omniscience about the world, and knowing you can do anything

and with that calm and expanded jubilee you sit her aside and, as the voice of God (which is not a tyrannical voice!) tell her how it is in such a perfect way, that all things will be wonderful, you know?

turning the other cheek is always necessary so that you live with a mind that is not plagued by unskillful thoughts and emotions, poisonous feelings and programs but so is being assertive

assertive isn't aggressive

you will speak the truth without trying to poke holes in her ego because EGOS FIGHT BACK TO THE LONESOME BITTER END

you just don't fight with egos....... keep yourself in your soul like you just drank a huge cup of tea and are at big peace, or had a mild lsd dose, or did great yoga

and you are like "YEAH! everything will work out, I feel pretty good.... time to lay down the law like a quiet gentle man, whose words can destroy nations, but only uses them for what is Good"


--------------------
I am the MacDaddy of Heimlich County, I play it Straight Up Yo!

....I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow, to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human......
Om Namah Shivaya, I tell you What!

The best solution, in my opinion, would be to tell the woman that you have been to shy to tell her, but that you have been gazing at her lovingly since the first moment you saw her, and that she is all you think about. Tell her that you are so in love with her that you even went into a philosophy and spirituality forum to whine to others about your self-imposed drama. :smirk:

At this point, place in her hand a flower and tell her that, even if she does not wish to be in a relationship with you, you just want her to know how you feel, and that you will always think of her on occasion and wish her the best.

This should resolve any of your concerns. :hehehe:

If you aren't doing what you want to do, why are you complaining about the details?

You miss the forest for the trees.

p.s. A little personal don't you think, FG?

Hmmm well, the original post itself was more than personal. :lol:
It also required advice in such a manner that personally was the only logic alternative.
How do you reply to such a post without appealing to personalisms? I think that when a poster decides to make such a thread, he/she is well aware of the fact that they are going to receive a reply according to it's attributes. :shrug:
More to that, the OP was asking for critique and this can be seen from the way the title sounds: "what's wrong with my mindset right now"
Maybe I'm missing something? :tongue:

What are you doing here as a mod anyway? Is it just to be able to ban OC because he caused havoc in your Mystery forum? You never liked this forum as far as I could tell.
