Trigger Warning Season - Follow Up

I have received a lot of positive comments last week from this commentary, as it resonates for many.

I am considering a series of commentaries that would be similar to the television series "How to get away with murder" but my theme being a satirical look "How to get away with a work mob 3x over" with a daily post being "12 Days of Toxicity" (12 days of Christmas ) with step-by-step guide on how a colleague used such techniques very effectively with no one the wiser.

Work mobs with a lack of due process from human resources are perfect way to upend a career for a covert abuser. If you are a vengeful person and reconciliation is not in your character, consider my next posts on how to eliminate those who you are uncomfortable with just based on "how you feel". It really does not take much, you just really need to sell it!

Again, this would be a satirical view but could be very meaningful to how co-workers, managers, leaders, and workplace investigators can pick up on the deceitful acts of neurodivergent colleagues.
