Backstabber Report

Have The I.O.U.’s Ready If You Are Backstabbed

Failure at work can mean the quick death of your career, and is to be avoided at all costs.

Success, while extremely vital, can also bring about a short career due to being backstabbed by your peers, or even your boss.

How so? It all comes down to perception; How your peers perceive you as a threat to winning an advancement; How those above you see the impact of such a success on their position. No one in management wants to be outshined, and your great individual success can take away the luster that gained them their position in the first place.

Outshine a manager at the outset and you will be the recipient of animosity, fear, and great resentment. But, turn over this success to your manager, and watch your personal value triple.

You also have an ace in the hole to use down the road when you need it. It will allow you to take earned credit for other successes and should you be backstabbed by a co-worker or the boss, play that card (if you’ve earned others, hold onto those).

Learn it, live it and survive a backstabber.
