Surviving in a Back Stabbing Enviroment

Hurrah!!!.....I have found another environment that is toxic with mills of whispers and rumors! And now, I have gotten caught in a tangle web of little white lies and a untruth.

I was surprised and a bit confused to find out on Friday, that two of people have went to my boss with statements saying that I am continuely walking around talking to people in a particular department. Because I was completely caught off guard, I sat and listened and took everything in.

I have been at my job for the last 2 yrs and I have visited the same people in this department every day the same time. Chit chatting among co-workers, right? Well, I guess that it was said that it's a distrubitive situation and employees in this department aren't getting their work done!

I have to admit, I got caught slipping. I have gotten a little too relaxed in my new situation and now I see a couple of people out to at fuel to this growing fabrication! It was mentioned to me in confidence and I was thankful for it. But, now I am in a position where I trust NO ONE!

I can't help myself, but I am now looking at everyone as "that person who complained"!!! The saying "CYOA" (cover your own Ass) definitely has given me new meaning!

The sad reality is that I can't trust anyone here (save a couple people) and using those people as a sounding board for the stress levels that continue to raise here has been my outlet. Now that this has been brought to my attention, I am back on my "Ps" and my "Qs"....
