UPDATE
Work-
4 Corners or the Pillars:
The go now...
18...32...15...22
Conflicts, choices, and/or decisions being made with work that involves, or has an effect on someone close to the situation, besides the sitter whether at home or an actual colleague etc. Could be about being rewarded, promoted, recognized or moving up in the world.
My FM told me that he has since found out that the snake (whom my FM saw as a friend there at work), set him (my FM) up and lied about something to the crew my FM oversees. Apparently this snake was acting on the advice of a previous employee who worked there in a high position. He and my FM and others didn't get along and the company President & VP investigated their issues, found the previous employee as a risk and they demoted him and sent him to another state and place to work. They should've fired him, and no one can figure out why he didn't get fired--some sneaky things going on we guess--but this previous employee also was fairly high up on the level of boss--and has worked there for a very long time. So it could also be that the higher ups are taking care of their own. All this was only recently found out. My FM was very instrumental in giving information (part of his job though) when asked by the previous employee's bosses--and it was recently found out that this previous employee came back to this work place. He was talking to the snake. He isn't suppose to be on company grounds anymore as he isn't assigned to this facility and another high up manager saw him there, and had him escorted off property and written up for it as well as the snake for bringing him in and for talking to him, when he knew it wasn't allowed. (so involved-sorry--but have to explain).
The manager who caught him and had him escorted off company property filed all the necessary reports--which took a day or two for him to do, and then he was told by his boss to let my F.M. know of it all, as they feel it was all related to more issues this snake tried to start re: my F.M. At any rate, the company officials are aware of it all, taking measures and have assured my F.M. they realize snake and previous employee are working together in retaliation for what my F.M. reported when asked about the previous employee.
I know...so involved. such drama!
It came out btw, that the previous employee had promised the snake that he would 'take care of him (snake) and help him get a better job, IF he helped him out'. The snake is a stupid and young kid, really--(23 or 24yoa) and is now beginning to see the light. However, a bit too late, sadly. He may now end up losing his own job as a result. So much for snake moving up in the company. F.M. (and I do too) sort of feel sorry for the snake guy--but he made his own bed.
Being in control maybe something of importance as well- not being too tied down or overly bossed so as to say.
Lastly, he might be wanting to "protect" or "defend" his position or place for some reason.
There is something he feels strongly about and in a very manly way I'd say.
My 2 cents worth.
I think you were speaking of my F.M. here. correct? if so, I have to say my F.M. is a man that goes 'by the book' at work. He tries hard to leave his own feelings out of it--and he does what he has to do according to company rules and regulations. He now sort of feels bad for the snake guy--but at the same time, realizes what he did was very wrong and he has also done this in the past to another guy--and cost THAT guy his job as a result. Thankfully, my F.M. is well known by the higher ups as well and they can see through it--(know my F.M. is a by the book sort of guy) and it also helped that the previous employee was found and escorted off company property (as per company rules) and the manager who did this was equal in status to this previous employee when he was there.
hope you can follow this. I know it sounds like a soap opera! But, things have begun to REALLY change for my F.M. for hte better. A NEW 'investigation' of sorts going on now--that sort of has my F.M. in there and the guys who were all told lies are now seeing the lies for what they were--and are kind of feeling stupid for following and believing that snake now. Sadly though, snake man who is still working there has all these guys who refuse now to be friendly to him. Can't make for a great working situation for the guy.
if I recall properly, later on in this thread you also pointed out that you felt the truth would come out in a short time and my FM would be seen as the good guy again. correct?
