I deal with people who have complained to the mayor in the past and now when those people come in we all have to bend high over water to help them and make sure they are "happy." It really just depends where you work and has that place in the past been sued.

Yeah, from a legal stand point this isn't a place that I want to take legal action for something like this. Now if a wrongful termination case were to present itself that may be a different story.

In my career I've been in many positions where my subordinates were older/much older or more qualified or more educated. This usually always causes some form of resentment. The issue is whether or not they were qualified or not it falls in the hands of the decision makers. I have found that those that feel like they should be the boss are usually lacking in a multitude of areas. Those that "know" everything always seem to know very little.

Toxic is the only description for these individuals. Sadly they outnumber those of us who are genuine people. I've come to realize the only way to deal with them is let them feel like they are winning. Any attempt to anything else will only cause conflict. I just allow them to think they have it all figured out and move on about my business.

I've noticed that most of these types of individuals "friends" aren't really their friends, they just tend to be more kind than people like me. I have a hard time not calling people out on their bullshit. I've learned to just recognize it and ignore it, but still hard not to call them out on it.
