colleagues ARE NOT friends... they are competition. Don't tell a colleague anything personal you wouldn't tell an enemy. I've too have learned this the hard way.

I think the lesson I would have learned in that situation is not to work there.

But who am I kidding? I DO work there!

If evolution has figured out that cooperation is the best strategy, who am I to think competing with everyone will get me far?
