I had a dude who tried to get me fired by stealing client data and trying to frame it on me. He confessed to someone he was so fucking sure would just take that in stride and not go to management with that.

I also found out that he thought that would work because he thought I was on a final write up for another thing that he tried to pin on me before that. But his whole claim there made no fucking sense and was dismissed within minutes, so nothing ever ever came of it. He just assumed it had worked without trying to confirm anything.

Why do you have a work nemesis?

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you know what "nemesis" means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent.

Dictionary says nothing about righteous.

one that inflicts retribution or vengeance

a formidable and usually victorious rival or opponent

Never the less, I think it's appropriate for @DivineJustice to have a nemesis.

Had. I'm on to greener potatoes now. But... I do not fucking know. That guy had nothing but vitriol for almost every coworker and I was not the only person he tried stuff like this on. I was just the time that did him in. I was even consistently nice to the guy, because, you know, I'm an adult. I tried really hard to get along with that guy. In fact when he pulled that shit, I thought we were doing pretty good. The only thing I can think of to explain it is that I beat him out for a promotion.
