1000% this. Janet and Felix in particular make this mistake (they have raging need to be victims).
The scary thing is that often, Nicks are also Averys and Rachels are also Janets, and they all work together while the normal, sane, healthy people at the company keep their heads down and look away for fear of being dragged into drama or worse, being targeted themselves. It's the unity between toxic people and the silence of the others that often make the people who are targeted fall into despair. No one wants to stand up and take a stance, which is understandable because it's their livelihood that's at stake, but it also ensures that the cycle of toxicity never ends.
I have a coworker who wants to be the invisible gatekeeper. Has eyes on the supervisor position, but will not take ownership of anything they say. Tries to control who talks to who and who has what information. Has angry outbursts when faced with their own words. Refuses to admit anyone else might have done something better than they did.
@chrismazz75 You just referred to another narc at the workplace....good luck to you and stay safe!
I am dealing with a “Rachel” at work, right now! I didn’t realize she was a “Rachel” until she went and told my managers about an event I had talked about to someone else that was completely innocent BUT she twisted it to sound like it was bad. She has since done other bad things like stealing my ideas and using them as her own.
It’s now apparent she is jealous of me, of who I am as a person. Before I realized this, she had acted like a friend.
I'm sorry you're going through this now. The feeling of betrayal is so deep.
"Instead of disliking him, you just need to steal tactics from his playbook." Girl, yes, THAT is the correct mindset 👏 Subscribed!
Umm, these aren't separate people. They're all traits in all toxic people.
Which toxic coworker are you working with?
Side note: Workplace toxicity is gender agnostic. While I assigned gender identities and pronouns to almost all of the toxic coworkers (except Avery), the achetypes are genderless; you can work with a male Rachel, a female Nick, etc.
Plenty of Chads and Janets lol ... I just keep my head up and press forward.😊 And yes, an advocate Works. Highly recommended.
Hi Jennifer ! Congratulations & good luck in resuming your marathon training. I'm now semi retired & work only four five hours a day shifts & avoid toxicity & am glad to be done with it ! Have a nice day 🙂.
I hope you're enjoying semi-retirement!
Thanks!
Thank you for supporting my channel!
To be honest, I used to use the "Janets" to get the information from toxic companies that they would attempt to hide from me. 😂😂😂 so I know Janets can be useful if you know how to use them.
Yes! I agree
There was one type of toxic coworker you didn’t talk about- one who threatens others with violence. Some of them do last for a while and can even commit crimes at work if they get angry enough. At two of my previous jobs I’d heard of people getting murdered. One gentleman killed his wife on his lunch break. Another gentleman shot his manager. Another guy I heard of threatened his boss. He got fired and the company had to install a fence and badge system afterwards
Narcissism in the workplace 😅
What about the copycat? I had one woman who was not only constantly touching me in extremely inappropriate way but decided to change her entire wardrobe to copy whatever I choose to wear. Hairstyle and makeup included. She also asked me about what I read and what my hobbies are just to find her a few days later talking to me about the topic of my interest and also told me she joined a class to learn about my hobby!!! The story goes further than that. I confronted her in private and some things changed but others didn't. I ended up leaving the company. It was too much. There was no HR department and when confronted she just said, I don't recall doing that. The only way I was able to stop her was by presenting my resignation. It was awful. 😢
Damn sounds like “single white female” syndrome! (Referring to the movie) Sorry you had to go through that but glad you got out. I’d say maybe she was just desperate for your attention or friendship but I think this goes beyond that 😩
All of them! Focus on your work. Who cares about them? Let them do their work. You do yours. Coworkers are not your friends. They are literally your competitors towards promotions. Just have integrity in your work over time. That will best position you. These catty coworkers will shake out soon enough. Your goal is to be the wisest one standing so you gotta stay in the game. Live to fight another day. Or if thos many "toxic" people are surrounding you, please take a medical leave and get checked out. My dad always says: 3 fingers out, 1 giant one back in. My mom clarifies with "we recognize in other people what we don't like about ourselves."
If you meet a meanie once per day, they might have been having a bad day. If you meet 2 meanies in a day they must really be bad, but if you meet 3 or more meanies or bullies the same day, we gotta take a look at what about us might ne inviting that bad behavior? Right? If you have 7 "toxic" people around you at work it seems like way past time to find a new job.
This is literally everybody that I work with😮
Chad gets ahead on the golf course not by working
Or at church.
😂 My Chad is named Patrick. He has sexual harassed a few women at my job, and sexual assaulted another one. Two of the girls ended up quitting because our “Store Director” decided to ignore it. Recently, I tried to call attention on it, and was told I was just jealous and threatened by him. He is our Store Director’s favorite employee, and he barely does his job. I’m currently looking for another job now because my store director threatened me, and I didn’t like how she handled me calling attention to what “could” become a future problem because we got 3 new female cashiers. My Janet, is our Store Director 😂 She’s incredibly messy and unprofessional.
What about dealing with that group that feels entitled to “get rid of coworkers” they don’t like. You know one might call them the child of the devil the type that like running out or causing coworkers they don’t like to have accidents causing them to lose their job or their life. And yes I’m being serious
I hope you show us how to advoid them.
One of my managers was an Avery too! Actually, he was a combination of all the toxic traits!
Great stuff Jennifer! I enjoy yoyr channel. Here's the list for your viewers: 1. Rachel 2. Chad 3. Nick. 4. Janet 5. Pearl 6. Felix 7. Avery
UA-cam is supposed to auto-add chapters... hopefully they help folks navigate the video, I know it's a long one.
@@JenniferBrick it's all good. I helped break it down for your viewers I hope. We must push through another year of work ... Be safe and well.
The most dangerous person, a covert narcissist
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Janets give me a migraine. I'm dealing with a male version of Avery at work who constantly moves the goalpost to mess with me. It's sad to think that people can be that obsessed with you.
Same 🥺
The Guardian is full of people like this.
This should be 1. narcissists 2. Borderline 3. Sociopath 4. and so forth and so on.
Working with an Avery
i dont think they understand the notion of working together to complete goals.
But you cannot avoid your co-workers since they are your... co-workers 🙃 I have to partake in work duties almost my entire shift with the toxic co-worker. She’s Rachel by the way. Safe to say I’m quitting that job!
Nicks are annoying.
Currently working with one atm, going back to 2nd
Oh Averys are the worst! I have worked for one in a Content Marketing agency and she is insufferable. Incompetent but has high standards from everyone. Constantly moves goalposts. Sets up incredibly high expectations and unmanageable workload so you look incompetent, instead, by not managing. The projection is projecting. Unfortunately, with this one, it's either you go or they go. And if the company is toxic, Averys get enabled.
Post on social media? Companies will snoop on it and use it against u
dislike will be given
When I realise I’m the toxic coworker 🫣
