Hi Sue
Yes - as I said to another person - I suppose it is just the nature of the beastin dealing with humans. You always have those bad eggs
My gosh - you HIRED the person in? Actually I too one time hired a person in who became the seeds of my downfall at that co - hahaha. But in a totally different way. But it was all good as they hired me to contract and I made 4 x the money. Long story
It is comforting to know, though, that others have the same experience - I mean, I am not GLAD for your misedry but at least it keeps it in perspective. It's THEIR stuff.

Hello,
I totally understand where you are coming from and I feel really bad for you. If you can magine it, I have been in a somewhat worse situation. I was the victim of this behaviour from SOMEONE I HIRED INTO THE COMPANY AND TEAM!!!!! They got in under my radar, but I tell you what...I learned from that and it has never happened again.
Whatever the title you choose to put on this behaviour, it's totally reprehensible.
Sue.
