No matter what company you work for, no matter what industry you’re in, no matter how nice you are, you’re going to get backstabbed at work. Yeah, it’s sad, there’s no way of getting away from that, but it’s human nature.

Some people are just traitors.

Scratch that. A fuck ton of people are traitors, for no reason a lot of the time too.

Being a tractor comes so natural to many human beings. A lot of the time they don’t notice when they’re fucking over someone, because they haven’t learned to consider others when making decisions that affect others. You’d think that you wouldn’t have to be taught this but you do.

Why Do They Do It?

Have you ever had a colleague at work that you really got on with, and then you overheard them talking shit about you? You literally just had a great conversation with this person, so why would they do this to you?

Sometimes it’s something as simple and childish as wanting to fit in. If you’re not liked by others, they’re going to shit on you to be part of the group. Most people are cowards, and they’re scared of being outsiders. It does get better with age but not until your mid to late 30s.
