I wonder as I ponder...

Why do so many people think they are selling themselves when they act like a Ginsu Knife, slicing and dicing their co-workers through out the day. I admit I've done it myself, not so much to put myself ahead of someone else, as for self-defense. One woman I work with goes out of her way to find a mistake someone else made, so she can bring it to the attention of the poor wretched soul...and anyone else within ear shot. She is either the Alpha-female or she is seriously insecure. Finding fault with everyone, taking offense at everything, slashing the throats of those who she claims are her nearest and dearest, she storms out of a room leaving it littered with the wounded. She is now in a no-mans land. Her closest friend has been sacked, she is going to school part time at the expense of the company to train her for advancement. She is no longer one of us peons, and she isn't lord of the manor...hard to find a place to rest and feel accepted when she's alienated everyone....guess we will have to see where this goes.....
