asking them questions only I knew the answer to. Our manager would see right through them when that happened and know who the true owner was. It's sad people do it. I would have gladly shared my ideas and worked as partners. It's all about being a team player.

In some ways it’s scary but I wouldn’t have done anything differently. I know why they fired her. They knew they couldn’t lose me But my next job I am going to be more careful and look for a supportive team environment. My team is great but my peers aren’t. Which again goes back to bad mgmt

Well, I wish you the best of luck on the next one. That should be exciting to build up again.

Might not be a bad idea if you can keep others from feeling like they have an advantage because you previously worked with them. There's always someone who feels disadvantaged or jealous of previous connections and thinks there might be favoritism. Emotions at work can be so annoying. LOL

I get it. I brought my right hand from a previous job. One person didn’t like it. But I was clear that I needed her because she could translate me for them. And she was a higher rank so I delegated a lot to her I was selfish. I really wanted someone I knew I could trust 😞

Nothing wrong with that and it worked for you, and I'm sure it improved your performance.

Of course. Team work makes the dream work I am fortunate. My team I know has my back. And they felt there was no point in telling me since I was blowing her out of the water. Her team was 3 times the size of mine And she fought for my projects. Gave them to her. They were given back to me.
