Oh yes, love this one. And it’s even worse when you’re smart and good looking and black - triple threat some white women love to hate.

I’ve seen this happen. Multiple times. It’s unfortunate to watch. I’ve tried to coach a staffer through this situation and it was very difficult. Thank you for sharing the post.

I’ve experienced this before… sad that so many women resonate with it

At my last job, I tried to be friendly and keep a low profile. But my work won the majority of the time on my creative team.

So a sociopathic, low self-esteem colleague made it her job to ruin my life. I kept track of her lies, manipulations and so forth. Other people saw it as well, and two other women left the agency previously because of her.

But at the end of the day, it did in fact make me get laid off after having that job for years. Some of the her shady behavior was difficult to prove, so I didn't go the legal route.

Now, I've been out of work for months. I should have went harder to win the popular vote amongst my colleagues, despite being the best on my team at my job. I really thought I did everything right at this job. I know karma will win someday. But I'm struggling.

This rings unfortunately true based on conversations with close friends. They’ve experienced exactly this, and thought it was happening in isolation. I’m sending them this link as we speak.

Curious to hear more details though, both for specific DOJ components and other agencies!
