1. My thoughts are

That if you fire somebody and your problems go away, you've fired the right person. In corporations that doesn't always happen.

Case in point, I was fired once and the problems in that division got much worse.

2. If you live and work in the United States, the MOST toxic person who has influence overall in the U.S. is DJT

If there was and is a way to screw over you and us, he has found it a likely used it already.

If this evil excuse for a human being should be reelected in 2024.

God help the U.S.A. God help the World!

His obituary will be welcomed by all he has harmed.

4. I'm retired, so I guess I'm the asshole on my team now, but at my last job

there was a guy who managed to transform passive-aggressive behavior into an art form. He was unfailingly polite, even cordial, to your face, but he was constantly sending emails to the whole department about how somebody or everybody was doing some particular thing wrong, and his way was the (only) right way. This continual picking even went as far as complaining that the rest of us, or maybe just some of us, were not using the "correct" typeface in internal email correspondence. He had his particular way of doing things and in staff meetings he'd complain that others weren't doing these little things the same way - things that nobody, including management - cared about. Sometimes his way was actually not the right way but God help you if you pointed that out - though mostly we just left him alone. He retired rather suddenly and he was not missed.

7. Lol. There are so many emails that I never send

My approach is to only focus on the most important issues but then a lot of other issues (including some petty ones) get swept under the rug.

I think a great way to resolve those types of things is to have regular group meetings but sometimes it's hard to coordinate schedules.

5. I've been retired for a long time.

But the worst person was over the entire chemical plant I worked at. His previous job was an efficiency expert at McDonald’s.

6. I'm retired but the most toxic person

at my job was one of the supervisors in the department. He spent practically all his time visiting, spying, tattling, taking credit for others ideas, and sucking up to management. We used to joke that his primary job duty must be to see how many people he could piss off each day.
