U have to make Yourself an asset in that firm and have someone making decisions as an ally. Once She knows she can't Bully U without repercussions she will back off. I had one manager at NESTLÉ like that, He was so daft that He threatened me on CCTV😂. I just downloaded the video and sent it to His fellow manager tat was an ally of mine.

Please how do you handle a situation where you have a senior colleague in your workplace that has a clique that supports her secret acts that are contrary to the workplace do's and donts.
In addition to that tries to discredit you before the MD because you don't join her clique.
Is It to report her to the MD or let it slide?
She's so toxic but pretends a lot before the boss

You need to gather as much concrete evidence as possible before speaking to the boss so you don't look stupid when your claims are watered down.

Most importantly who does the boss like more between you and her. Is he a neutral Boss? Some emotional bosses will favour anyone they like even when they are wrong

Emmanuel555:
Work underground, get all the evidence of her ill acts, next time she tries something funny before the MD, sabotage her right there

Yet very calculative also spread your underground work to cover all including the boss, so you don't report your enemy to the chief enemy.

We are in developed world,try to get camera you can station to strategy places to record them. there's a glasses camera or any other that are as small as a bottle of soft drink. You go record them and watch on your phone later.

By being passive aggressive. When 2 toxic people meet, the lesser toxic one must bow. Improve the quality of your work, study your opponent and decipher their weak points and use it Wisely while being nice about it. This only counts if you're at your dream job, otherwise first step should be to aggressively look for a new job.

How to go about it. Don't interfere, do your job. Do whatever she ask you to do since she is your superior. Don't share personal information or devulge any information about your self and character to them. Just do your work and go home.

It depends on how influential the senior staff is and your organisational structure.
As a subordinate to her, do not overstep your boundary.

Find a way of addressing the issue with your boss. Don't make it personal.
What secret acts is she engaging in?
Are you sure your boss is not also compromised?
Depending on the impact of her secret acts affects the job and the office atmosphere.

Finally, it's OK not to join a clique but you have to be sure you're on top of your game and stay loyal to your organisation.
In case your boss is like wise compromised, you may need to start looking for a better job before whatever their doing backfires, as it always does.
You can send an situation report to your HR when thr timing is right.

Cut off her throat 😭😭😭

I think these topics on NL are just about following trends to use some buzz phrase or words.

There is nothing toxic about the above situation you shared.

The golden rules of the workplace are
Rule 1
Do Your Job>Get Paid>Go Home>Rinse and Repeat the next day
Rule 2
Your colleagues are not your friends or family. (Insert Rule 1)

💯
Some people will be looking for what's not lost.

This is almost a characteristic specific to subordinates with clear hearts in organizations in Nigeria. The average Nigerian man is a thief @when given the opportunity”… just like those your co-workers that support him. The best way to solve this is to use every chance you have to build for yourself another source of revenue. Residual income nai go fit save you. If you resign get another job, same thing go still happen. We have more of people that don’t have conscienCe than people that have🤦🏾‍♂️

Any form of resistance by you while remaining in that company will drain you

the question you should be asking yourself is “do you have another job?”. I bet not.

You better use your head and swallow all the shits that come at you.

Nigeria is in a very bad situation and there are tons of first class graduate that would take your spot and eat the shit.

What you have right now is a criminal government. So there is no employment outside for you

Where I work, nothing like toxic boss. As a manager, I have adopted the leadership style of my retired boss, benefited tremendously and will never deviate from it. I don enjoy am from my Oga..na so my staff go enjoy me

Best solution ignore and focus your energy on self development and seeking God then see how God makes you.

There's a way God deals with bullies when you hand them over to him that you wouldn't have gone that far if you were to handle it yourself.thats why God is called agbeni nija kionija beru

By DOCUMENTING any infractions you can, if you want to take it to the MD word of mouth will not be enough.

You have no business in what your senior colleague and her group do in the office....You're not a monitoring witch neither were you employed there as a supervisor!!!!

Simply do your job and go home, pay no attention to what anyone else does unless you're ready to loose your job♂️. Do your job so well that your boss will know you did well even after listening to all the gossips... Results they say don't lie my dear.

If your boss or any other staff ask you for any information about their affairs, pretend you don't know anything.

They're your seniors in the job, do you think your boss will believe you? At their expense?? You MUST be a joker.... No go loose your job for this economy o

Sometimes people get hurt for not minding their business💯

Continue to do your job with the right conscience. Please don't join them in their bad deals. But pray that God Himself should expose them one day. For sure their cups will be full one day and they will be found out. Please don't resign. You are not to run away from them, they are the ones suppose to resign for you.

If she fancy u give her Ur pipe u will b able to control her !

I can bet anything U are very experienced. This advice is a Gem. I work around Top Management with some Multinationals and the best way to go is to be passive aggressive and it's something I Love doing so it comes quite easy. U said it exactly how I do it..
