Finally after getting a job I enjoy and a shift I prefer I find out today I'm working with a back stabber. Goes running to the boss as soon as I did something he didn't agree with. Shut off a heating coil with a broken water valve,(broken for at least 2 yrs and they don't seem to want to fix it.)Nurses,doctor and patients were roasting. First day into the seventies and cooling towers where not ready. Got yelled at and had turn hot water back on. Doctor and nurses whern't happy.It had finally gotten bearable in there again. I'm not so much mad at him as I'm mad about having to deal with this type of situation for another 15-20yrs.

MCR, for a second I thought you and I were co-workers. i work in very similar conditions. best advice I ever got about working in a place like that was just stay out of the politics and do your job. Wanna move to Cali?

Go out and buy a CD from the "Undisputed truth"

they smile in your face! all the time they want to take your place the back-stabbers back-stabbers.

or another one from the same, smiling faces smiling faces, sometimes they don't tell the truth!

remmber my friend i'm not tryin to fool ya, i'm only trying to school ya..

godd stuff for when work gets you down. just do your job be true to yourself and you can't go wrong.

Ah shyat!!!!coolwhip beat me to it.
 
couple of guys that I supervised try to pull a coup d etat on me once, they didnt know that my nick name is J edgar.
life is a *****, maybe one day they'll be working for you.

It's great that you found out about this person early. Now you can plant seeds to the boss,whenever you want. Remember, it takes 44 muscles to frown, but only 4 to lift your middle finger at him. You'll be o.k..

all i can say is "karma" is a mother f'er. Just do what you want to get back and it won't matter what happens.

J, Edgar, huh?. Just face your enemies and call the BS why waste your time being as subversive as them. If my latin is incorrect please inform me.

Dot get me wrong I play by my balls too,the other way is more fun, because they never know whats going to hit them, lets put it this way one is gone, the other one try to redeem himself, I let him think that I forgot.

Yeah, I've worked with a couple guys like that. If we're working on a job together, and it doesn't go well, over the bid or whatever, they tell the boss it was all my fault, and I end up taking the heat.

They'll smile to your face, but trash you behind your back to save themselves.

Spineless bastards.
 
Paybacks are a bitc$

Call their company pagers or cell phones from a strip bar. Tell the dispatcher not the boss to check their logs. She'll do your dirty deed to the boss.


BTW: When you do something like the water valve ALWAYS tell your supervisor. Ratting on ypurself is a 1000 per cent better than somebody else doing it.

keeping the radar up......one trick i learned was when your working on a job with somebody talking sports,families,sitdown lunchs,beers after work...everthing is great with the give and take!you see this guy in front of the OWNERS/SM in the office enviro and he acts like you just came out of trade school,when you add to a conversation about the job.that person can never be trusted,and you will only know it when a job goes south and he buries you to the boss.

Back Stabbers Lyrics

(What they do)
(They smile in your face)
All the time they want to take your place
The back stabbers (back stabbers)
(They smile in your face)
All the time they want to take your place
The back stabbers (back stabbers)

All you fellows who have someone
And you really care, yeah, yeah
Then it's all of you fellows
Who better beware, yeah yeah
Somebody's out to get your lady
A few of your buddies they sure look shady
Blades are long, clenched tight in their fist
Aimin' straight at your back
And I don't think they'll miss

(What they do)
(They smile in your face)
All the time they want to take your place
The back stabbers (back stabbers)
I keep gettin' all these visits
From my friends, yeah, what they doin to me
They come to my house
Again and again and again and again, yeah
So are they there to see my woman
I don't even be home but they just keep on comin'
What can I do to get on the right track
I wish they'd take some of these knives off my back

(What they do)
(They smile in your face)
All the time they want to take your place
The back stabbers
(Back stabbers)
Low down, dirty

(What they do)
(They smile in your face)
Smiling faces
Smiling faces sometimes tell lies (back stabbers)
(They smile in your face)
I don't need low down
Dirty bastards (back stabbers)

They are everywhere and even keeping your head down and out of the politics does NOT keep you out of it. They will drag you into it at any time they need to in order to further their cause.

I fell victim to back stabbers a while ago - I will never forget. KArma will get them cause back stabbers eventually run into a bigger badder back stabber and they will get screwed.

Watch your back and trust no one never let your guard down ever.

don't sweat it too much. Sometimes the boss knows there this way. And pays little attention to it. A good boss wouldn't allow it and correct or fire the guy who does it one too many times.
 
You cannot be a renegade in an environment like that.You need to get everything cleared first with your boss then coordinated with the staff.If you do what your told & get clearance for everything else then you will do alot better.I just am happy I only have to work in the hospitals here about once a year!Good luck to you!
