I Win, You Lose!

As childish as this title sounds, I am feeling happy and smug that poetic justice prevailed!

For anyone who has worked in a company or with some people where performance, leadership, etc are important… where rank & file and promotions are available… horns from some people inevitably show.

Some of them are good, so they get their horns in your back and ass, and you haven’t the slightest idea of what hit you… others are less skilled and always get found out.

I, for one, am unfortunately on the receiving end… most of the time.

I guess the big guy up there is helping me out this time and I am really thankful too, because what was political play by a conniving ass to stab me in the back and project himself as a good performer and helpful colleague has backfired. I am HAPPY!

This S.O.B has been so threatened by my performance at work, that he constantly spread rumours about me in the office, played down my performance to our M.D., and still could smile to me in my face. Alright, I get that I ain’t the brightest bulb in the political arena, so if I am aware of the devious plan of the scum, it can only be said that he suck at stabbing at people’s back… mine in particular.

His name has something to do with Mahjong, so I am gonna call him MJ for short. So MJ isn’t performing at work recently and he is starting to feel to strain of meeting targets, whereas I am on my study sabbatical. However, I manage to get a meeting with a prospect, which MJ was also trying to engage.

Thinking that because I am on my sabbatical, hence, I won’t be able to protect myself when he stabs me in front of my MD. He accuses me indirectly of undercutting his sale and thus affecting him to meet his target.

Fuck me badly once, shame on you… fuck me badly twice, shame on ME!

So once I got wind of the backstabbing, I made a call to my MD, played the “helpful employee who went out of his way to go for an appointment while being on unpaid leave just to ensure that our service level is high” and won the praise of my MD.
What was intended to hurt me has now put me in a better position than ever before. Like they always say, what goes around comes around… so MJ ending up looking incompetent about our company’s products and services.

Sweet justice indeed!
