On the Job: What Would Happen to You?

Unfortunately, the person stabs you in the back in his or her first month on the job. You end up losing your own position. You are a truly good person, though, and a forgiving one. You will quickly get another job.

You believe that things happen for a reason ' and that reason is that things are meant to work out for the best! You may not actually live in the best of all possible worlds but you behave as if you do. And in this way, you create that reality around yourself. You and your new coworker are very compatible and achieve a lot. Soon you are both promoted!

You and the new person work well together. So well, in fact, that you soon receive a promotion! And a raise, to boot! Congratulations!

And you were right to do so. If you'd hired that person, they would've made trouble for you. You have a fairly realistic world view and your head is squarely on your shoulders. Good work!

You aren't interested in working with someone who doesn't want to work with you. Good move. This person would've cost you your job. Bad things can and do happen to good people. You always remain carefully aware of that.

Unfortunately, your candour backfires. The person complains to the CEO, who accuses you of holding grudges. You almost lose your job. But you explain yourself and you don't. You distrust that person even more now!
