How to deal with this bloody hell backstabber(s)?
-
Need some sensible advise from all clear minded ones, on how to deal with this stupid office politics.
I am not the kind that like to be involved and I don't have the time for that. I have goals and targets to meet and little help (basically very much on my own as my superior is also busy).
But hor.... got some bloody backstabber trying to play dirty behind my back.
The story goes like this....
Last Friday, apparently somebody called SPH to leak out something to them (company/project info that concerns my area). He/She claimed to be a staff of my company. After that, the SPH reporter called my ex-GM who was serving her last day there. After that, that is today, the ex-GM called my new GM about this. But she has, apparently, not mention who the reporter is (normally reporters will identify themselves, if I'm not wrong).
My new GM, who's not in town at the moment, angrily sent a very harsh email to my superior, telling him that the culprit has to be from my department and she wants the person to own up.
Somehow, I am sure that the culprit behind this are : my colleague (who is damn jealous that our new immediate superior is my ex boss) and the ex-GM who loves my this bloody colleague like hell.
What do you think I should do? I am just afraid that if the new GM is someone who likes to anyhow jump into conclusion, likely she will conclude I'm the person. I told my concern to my immediate superior, but he told me that I need not explain anything or speak with the new GM about this if I didn't do it.
How ah?
I damn du lan already. I quiet quiet do my work, dun play politics and still that jealous colleague of mine and the ex-GM went around telling all other staff to be careful of me (like I'm going to play dirty behind their back). The more quiet I keep, the more they say, cuz (I think) they are worried about what's going on in my mind and what game I am going to play.
Nabei! Dun play with them also must drag me into it.
I hope they die faster! -

sounds familiar...
i resigned from my last job because my new spanish director sent me a very harsh e-mail.
all because my stupid and lazy subordinate told him that she has lots of work to do and had to stay for overtime. my new boss jumped to conclusion and assume that i always go back on time and did not bother to help them.
what a world!!!
i dont know if i am right but based on my experience attack is the best defence. -
I hope this gets feature in Straits Times. I would to let the two culprits see my piece of inputs.

i stay back to finish work because nobody help me. in the end supervisor had impression that i m a slow worker. knn. this world is unfair.Originally posted by dragg:sounds familiar...

I think since you raised the issue to your superior let him manage your GM.Originally posted by Honeybunz:Need some sensible advise from all clear minded ones, on how to deal with this stupid office politics.

If the issue is abt leaking share price sensitive info to SPH and the reporter never identifiy himself I don't think they will ever dare to run the story, if they did your company spokesman or lawyer raise the issue with SPH because anything that SPH publish has to be substantiated aka has to link back to somewhere, if SPH ever dare to publish such a report without a "source" they will be liable for leaking price sensitive information and can be very serious.
So in the end if someone planned this on you and SPH run the story the culprit will be known in the end.
If you want to scare the person you think might be the culprit, draft an email to your GM, cc your boss, ex-GM and your colleagues who you suspect are the culprits, plead your ignorance and innocence then suggesting getting your company spokesman or lawyer to either approach SPH or better still up the stakes if it's price sensitive info, inform SGX and CPIB straight away. The f.ucker who did this balls drop man.
Also your willingness to go to higher authorities will prove your innocence and make your new GM scared also since prospect of going to CPIB or SGX will eventually bring to the attention of all the big big BIG bosses and directors may not be what the new GM wants to give an impression thatshe is unable to handle the new department. In the end the whole episode may even be hushed up but it's a plus point for you since your GM and all the bosses will know your integrity and nobody will ever dare to mess with you ever again when they know you are someone who goes for broke

no way because they are unreasonable and like to twist the fact and provide other with distorted facts you can't do anything about it !

Don Vito, with all due respect, I'm surprised that you did not advise Honeybunz to keep one's friends close and one's enemies closer!Originally posted by vito_corleone:outwit, outplay, outlast. -
if u didn't do it, no point explaining becuz it will make u even more suspicious. juz go as normal and insist ur innocence.. which is true. den look out for anybody suspicious.. becuz guilty people will might show signs.Originally posted by Honeybunz:Need some sensible advise from all clear minded ones, on how to deal with this stupid office politics.

but it seems that people who play politics normally survive and those who did not die first.

You are partly right that she wasn't accused officially, but the thing is if someone trying to frame you and you keep quiet they will think you are a mouse, if you dun do anything they will keep coming back again and again to sabo you.Originally posted by Ito_^:like hell it wld go this way.. she wasn't even accused (officially). looking to die. :
On the other hand hitting back may be what they want so they try to bait you, it may go well or do badly for you but unless you show them you also mean business you will never have a day's peace again in the office.

willing to join in the lower rank.
the only thing she cared about was playing politics.
