Don't you just love the hatred?

Your part of the reason id rather be self employed!

The King of Moo

when someone starts a thread because they feel a bit bad and unsure about something they did and wants to reassure themselves they did the right thing, but almost no-one agrees with them and lambasts them?

TheInquisitor

Good job OP but why didn't you just get the guy fired instead of demoted? Seems to me you were too easy on him.

If the guy is acting like a child in business he doesn't deserve to be there

And so the word spread,

Beware of, don't talk to, socialise with the hatchet man/brown nose..

What's got you so wound up? If someone holds up a whole mfg company by not playing ball then what else can be done? I'd say the customers care about receiving the end product, regardless of how it's delivered or who delivers it.

you want the customer to be happy but don't care a **** about your colleagues.

How can you happy with yourself when you are filled with some much hatred and bitterness.

So if I have it right, a group of workers became demotivated, unproductive and uncommunicative.

This sounds like a management issue to me, Incompetent vindictive manager should have been moved on IMO.

The truth will come out in the long run.

wow nasty! what were you looking for a pat on the back personally I'd have some concerns over your work performance it doesn't suggest your a team player

if your career ambitious this will go against you working as a ''team'' you should each facilitate your strengths ideally driven by your team leader! Your team leader manager should have been dealing with driving the team leader not someone with an ego driven by what sounds like nastiness ehhh

Dealings with customers are only brief encounters, you've got to work with the people you ****ed over until they leave or you do.

To be honest OP you sound like an arse kisser. You're lucky I'm not one of your colleagues because that smug grin would be minus a few teeth after an act like that.

More concerned about customers than the relationship with the people you work with? Smacks of a "look at me boss" attitude to me. I help customers too in my line of work but I would never ever in a million years **** my colleagues over for the sake of them.

I normally wouldn't either but when a minority of colleagues almost make the whole operation grind to a halt then it's necessary to take drastic action.

That's not for you to decide though. Do they not have performance monitoring or feedback where you work?

They don't. I've worked in big and small companies and never worked in a place with performance monitoring / feedback like you're suggesting.

Organisational sociopaths: rarely challenged, often promoted. Why?

Purpose – Organisations sometimes select and promote the wrong individuals for managerial positions. These individuals may be incompetent, they may be manipulators and bullies. They are not the best people for the job and yet not only are they selected for positions of authority and responsibility, they are sometimes promoted repeatedly until their kind populate the highest levels of the organisational hierarchy. The purpose of this paper is to address this phenomenon by attempting to explain why it occurs and why organisational members tolerate such destructive practices. It concludes by proposing a cultural strategy to protect the organisation and its stakeholders from the ambitious machinations of the organisational sociopath.

OP from your posts you don't seem to have the intelligence to realise that you have carried out an act that in the long term will be detremental to your own career prospects.

Out of curiosity, what level are you at in the company you work for, I am guessing you are in a low supervisory position and will now be a target for people in management level who will slowly and effectively find a way to make you surplus to requirements.

A lessen in business is that the best way to screw someone is to do it and they don't know you have done it. It would seem that you haven't been able to carry this out as your other colleagues are aware of your actions, this was your big mistake.

Good luck honing your interview skills for when this employment ends as you will be blacklisted by word of mouth.

TheZohanS

OP whilst there may be some justification in what you did, and to be honest in some situations employees are left with no option but to do as you did, the fact that you're gloating about it now is a very poor reflection on you as an employee and as someone that holds a management position.

This.

While your superiors will expect you to make hard decisions re: team members, they will equally want somebody that command respect. I myself have been on both sides and nobody will last long if they are genuinely hated by their colleagues.

I find that hard to believe to be honest. No company is just going to let a loose cannon run amok amongst staff without monitoring employee progress and ability to do the job, especially one involving dealings with external clientele (in this case your customers). There is simply too much potential for serious damage to reputation and I'd be very surprised if someone is not keeping tabs on the employees ability to interact with colleagues or customers.

I'm actually a nice person, very fair, but I expect a certain standard from the people I work with. If they don't do their job properly and prevent the company form fulfilling contracts then I will bring them down to Earth with a bang. I wasn't the only person who felt that way either.

Well boasting on here doesn't really convince a person of how nice you are. You seem quite anal, to be honest.

And even better if you can get some other poor ejit to take the credit for your dirty work and if said ejit was to be so egotistical as to glote over it well I'd say the real managers have a right giggle every time the wannabe walks past.

Good job sir.

Oh, you're one of those. You'll be talking about 'thinking outside the box' and being 'proactive' about 'pushing forward' next.

Darlughda

This thread is a sorry reflection on some people caught up in the corporate dream.
Imagine being so incompetent not to realise what is going on with a group of good employees that is causing them to have difficulties with meeting a contract, then posting on AH about it of all places with a username flash.

That's not even power hungry. That is sociopathic behaviour, desperate for any, any kind of confirmation of the delusionary idea of power and status and competence that someone wishes to promote.

OP, you need to seek help.

I've worked in software companies (of various sizes) for years and every company got feedback from colleagues and team members (with the proviso that it was just between my boss and them) for my annual performance reviews as well as a general assessment of how I gt on with same.
