I keep thinking I’ve finally learned this lesson, then the universe smacks me. Found out yesterday that my only “friend” at work (remote and I manage most of the people I interact with) has been sabotaging me and using everything I’ve shared in confidence to personal gain to take over my job while I’m on medical leave. Like obvs not my friend and I move on/stop working there, but I’m just so sick of this pattern continuing to rear its head and welcome any advice. I just tend to see the best in people and get lonely when I have to hold myself at a remove with everyone in a situation, but it’s leaving me open to this nonsense.
