Well...this was unexpected...

In a similar vein of thread as Cheesy's Chhhhhchanges thread..it seems i have a situation of my own that could get very interesting over the next month or so. I have been in the security field for almost 11 years now. In fact end of this month marks 11 years since i started working in the field doing mobile work. Anyways...During that time the company i originally started with went bankrupt in 2013 and i started with a different company a month later. Now ironically almost 5 years later to the date things are getting a little iffy with this one. Not due to bankruptcy...far from that considering the company in question is one of the largest if not the largest in canada. No this is from an internal parasitic problem in the form of one of the team members that made the jump to the new company in '13 going full Judas and backstabbing the manager of this office. In short he has been poaching contracts and stealing them left and right, A lot of long term contracts we held even back in the days of the original company. This problem has gotten to the stage they have announced the closure of the office here in the city i live in. This more or less resulted in a "Battlefield" type promotion for me in the process as the manager usually handled the contracts and clients i worked for. With his termination and the closure of the office i am now directly dealing with the above. Things could get extremely interesting in the near future due to which...

Now that i am seemingly done with computer issues for the moment i can get back into fully explaining things a bit further. Ok a bit more backstory... This individual has attempted to back stab my manager in the original company we worked for. This manager is the father of the current one who is about to leave the current company. He ran the mobile route i ran years ago into the ground losing contracts left and right from it. At the same time stealing other contracts within it for his own sub contractor company. This pattern has been ongoing for the past couple years especially. It just finally came to a head recently with current events.

Figure i should probably update on this: Yea it definitely feels like that chute failed. Basically things have gotten completely screwed up now. Former manager is starting with a new company ironically enough in the old office space. Having a bit of a meeting with him sometime this week to set up a plan of attack with my own exit strategy. Now for the fun part... BC head office and hell even a few people in Edmonton office had no idea that the termination of office and position was even happening. In fact it sounds a lot like the one who pulled the plug on both stepped out of bounds in doing so. When you have the owner of the company asking wtf? You know something went way wrong..

Wow! And WTF!

I served with the Marines and learned much! Know the enemy, cover your six, and lay down some psyc ops!

Prime example, I work in surgical services, in the OR. There are a few surgeons that I need to put my boot in their throats, but I realize the hospital would frown on this. Yes, they have a God complex, but I’m still not allowed to arrange the meeting! 🙁 Sooo, I speak very little to them, study their weakness and have a plan for when they go bat shit crazy! 😜

A guy once told me, “Coworkers are coworkers. They are not your family. They are not your friends. Treat them accordingly.”

Be safe!

It seems that everyone lately has been having it rough at work. I don't just mean the people here but also the people in my meatspace life as well.





Good luck to you, DarkRider.

Best of luck to you, hope it turns out okay eventually.
