I had my first backstab experience at work today. At first I was kind of shocked, but then that subsided and I’m left with disgust. I don’t feel betrayed, coz the backstabber had no grounds for their accusation, but I’m just amazed at some people’s ability to do such things.. Froid needs to study this person.
Have you ever been backstabbed at work? How did you deal with it?
Never happened to me yet, Thank god
am sure the girls can help you with this, since they are experts in dealing with these things
so What happened??
Let the war begin and strike back yousef looool tara moga3ed ashayeesh
regularly happens. Either tell him/her that what she did was wrong in front of everyone and embarrass them (chances are this has happened before and people hate the person). or ignore the person for a few days.
Heal the stab with a Clap
it did happen to me ones when a colleague couldn’t answer the G.M. questions.. she point it the finger at me and said him it is him who asked me to do it.. although i did ask her to do it.. but the way she reacted.. i mean she could simply said OK i’ll fix the mistake and reprint.. but no.. she couldn’t.. i still till today remember her tone of voice and the look in her eyes.. she sure took me by surprise..
happens a lot! don’t be surprised .. Keep your guard up cuz chances are it will happen again
I have seen that happen, it has happened to me a while back.. but you learn to deal with it.. I try to remain clean but I make sure to return it to him when possible.. and only when I’m right..
you do not die so never look back
Yousef,
Everything you do, document it with an email.
If the thing is done verbally, you loose.
I was given this advice when i first started work, didnt take it seriously till I got my slaps.
Hope this helps.
Oh and avoid the “pay back” mentality. Consider it a lesson learned.
Your email follow up is where the real slaps are. Ask for it, be careful in these tiny things, you’ll come up way big with that action.
stab him back… with a real knife
Hire me ? i’ll take care of it.. i know some people that know some people
I know I’m currently being back-stabbed by at least 10 people where I work.
Rule of life. The more you succeed, the more people will attack you.
Fight back and they will engage you, then you have little time to work and achieve.
Only worry about you Boss. make sure he/she is updated regularly on different details of your work and achievements.
To your boss, Just mention the facts about what being said without mentioning the incident.
oh all the time…what you do is look them in the eyes and smile…that’s what I do!!!
I duno what you mean by that but where ever I go, I see hatred in work enviroment, jelousy is eating them up, and gossips aaaaah tell me about it, even the G.M. does it, so I really dunno what to say.. Life teaches you alot and you will see different ppl with different cultures and background to deal with. Work enviroment is very unhealthy, in my opinion and it could be good to your career wise if you found the good ppl around you. And as som1 has mentioned the more you show your knowledge and success the more you deal with gossips, jelousy.
Backstabbed..? Well to tell you the truth I view this evil from a different light. Everyone of us do things with good intentions but that action itself is open to interpretations. So if anyone backstabs me I would just turn around and say “No, no, no you don’t understand”.
otherwise:

Backstabbing happens, in work, in personal life, it happens.
Keep clean. If you are at work, document. Stay calm. If the person is out of line, answer calmly, and correct the mistakes, the insinuations calmly. YOU stay clean. No revenge. None necessary – a person who backstabs usually shoots him/herself in the foot. They can’t help it. They backstab when they can’t produce.
Your reputation is based on consistency. Stay calm. Stay clean. You will have credibility.
