Have you ever been aware of team members actively conspiring to get a team mate or leader fired? How did you handle it? Were you in on it?
Was it justified? I know of two recent scenarios of people where I work at minimum wanting to get other team members or leaders fired. How do you navigate this kind of situation?

I don't have any professional advice other than people should stop doing this for reasons other than I simply do not like said person. Messing with people's livelihoods is so evil. Unless the leader is genuinely hurting someone or failing to do their job, tolerate them, be cordial, collect a paycheck and move on with your day. I don't know the details of the situation you are explaining above but I would just document everything.

I agree

Document the pattern. If they're actions are genuinely hurting the team, report it. Especially if they are retaliating.

like

Documentation especially with evidence is key.

Honestly, I lack the ability to say something on thid topic that's purely constructive, since this topic is a bit sensitive in nature.
I've witnessed this kind of thing happen at some of my previous places of work, and it honestly shows the type of work envirnment it is.
Conspiring to get someone fired is never a good look to future employers, or people you yourself wish to hire.
I'd advise against it. Especially if the person is doing great at their job like they're supposed to, and they only take issue with the person for personal reasons that have nothing to do with their performance at work.
There isn't a clear way to navigate this issue, in my perspective. The person would just end up transferring to a different job.
If you say something about it, you'll come off as a person who escalates personal issues and therefore, unable to resolve interpersonal conflicts with coworkers.
On the other hand, if you don't say or do something, it makes you seem like a pushover.

It’s a tough situation for sure

I have had this done to me. That is what you call a toxic work environment. So document everything, and don't say anything, you are either on their team, or no team at all. So you know what that means, it could be you next. No one wants to be a part of a toxic work environment, when there isn't any trust, and always watching your back, drains the life out of you, should be looking for some where eles to go, or try to change the environment. (Going to HR or owners if you go that route.)

All great advice.

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM.

Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.

One of the worst double standards in corporate america.

Companies especially startups expect you to not keep interviewing when you accept a job offer. “It can deteroriate your brand.”

But companies would replace you in a heartbeat for almost any reason. Including interviewing a candidate who will replace you (you will be fired as soon as they find a person).

So companies can fuck with the little guys but we can’t look for our best interest?

For all you retail people...are you experiencing a very slow holiday season? I am a retail manager and I feel like this season has been freakishly slow. I thought we would at least match last year's number or be up a little bit but we are trending down. I talked to employees of other stores in the mall and they are saying the same thing. Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?
