People always talk about how it sucks when bad things happen to good people...but what about when bad people act like they're doing good things? When dozens of people buy into their rhetoric? How do you deal when you're forced into a situation to be around that person and have little option to remove yourself from the loop?

 

Bide my time. My belief is that people generally can't keep the masquarade going indefinitely and that their true colours eventually will come shining through.

 

I won't make this a political thread, but :
is just begging for a comparison to the current administration, but I won't do that for fear of making this thread political.

 

I'd have to agree with Muz, true colors show thru eventually no matter what the masquerade of the week is. I've been in your situation a few times and I distance myself as much as possible from these people. Do whatever work is required and no more, maintain a strictly professional attitude, document if you think it's needed (letters email, etc.) however that's usually overkill but helps when you get subpoenaed!

Next, feed 'em enough rope to hang themselves and just wait.

Good Luck -

 

I have thought of that, but the situation i'm referring to is most definately not that one.

 

It's everywhere. Work, government, church, family, TV. Dr. Phil, Oprah, Rickie and yes even Montel. "The world is a stage."
Not sure how to deal with it. I don't like to play. Where are the real people or is this how it is? Maybe there never were any real people. Now my head hurts.
