Caution - very likely to cause offence, but i'm raging

Ever had one of those burning hatreds borne out of betrayal? The sort that leaves a dark void in your soul which is just begging for a bit of gratuitous vengence? Well, I've got a new one, and I suspect the c**t I'm referring to, who is the subject of this abyss, is on CPW.....

I had a meet up with this 'mate' over tea and tiffin a few months ago. All very friendly - afterall, he's a mate, we work in similar environments, so it's always good to catch up from time to time - or so I thought.

"How's work"? was the general giste of the conversation. We both agreed that it was a bit shite. Now I should say, that he lives in a different bit of the country to me, and he has 3 which he works for regularly. I however, have 1 which is very specialist. Because work is a tad slack, we agreed that I wouldn't accept work from his contacts and in turn he wouldn't contact my single employer. That way, we don't inadvertantly shite in each others pillow cases. All very civilised, and helps to maintain a certain status quo so to speak.

Anyway, about a month ago, I was teaching on an induction course, and who should be in the group of potential wannabees? Yep you've guessed it............my mate, THE C**T

If you're reading this you backstabbing C**T, fookin look in. You're card is well and truely marked and as sure as eggs are eggs, YOU'LL GET YOURS.........Oh! and did I mention? YOU'RE A C**T

(Sorry fellow MODS. No doubt this will attact the reporting button)

Been there, got many tshirts. Catharsis required. :)
 
Hmm sounds familiar! I usually find that in situations like this i revert to a DIY mentality and use a BFH to fix it, that being a Big F****ing Hammer! Seriously though, it is not nice being betrayed like, i really hope you sort it.

Have a quiet word with your employer. Dude has an integrity issue.

Thought about that, but technically, we're both self employed, and it would be difficult to do that and maintain my own integrity with the employer.

I've since discovered from others that he has previous for this sort of thing. When I mentioned it to a mutual acquaintance, they just said "well, that's ******* for you". All very matter of fact.

He has got a few skeletons, one of which is well publicised. Hopefully, the employing agency will google him.......I won't bubble him though. Not my style.
 
I too have a troublesome see-you-next-tuesday who taught me yet again that humanity is populated with retards who think their knuckles are higher off the tarmac than they really are.

Any ideas for teaching "colleagues" the value of integrity?
 
What goes around, eventually does come around. So they will learn when no-one will employ them, no-one will recommend them, no-one will keep them in the loop for any suitable jobs etc. Their reputation will precede them at some point. So these kinds of people will get their comeuppance.

I've had it lately with forwarding jobs to people they are suitable for etc, and a lot of them can't even be arsed to say thank you! Suffice to say, they will never get any from me in the future.
 
I agree entirely, but the issue is of course, that in this game, having a significantly reduced income for a couple of months because a mate has effectively poached your gig, means that you run out of time and money before they realise that said smarmy C**t is a bit of a tool, and not to be trusted. By then of course, it's to late.

I need someone on the inside, who can have a quiet word with the bosses, but not too sure who I can trust.
 
Starlight, count to 10, then 100, then 1000, then 10,000 and take a chill out portion.

Its bad for your blood pressure, stop and count again

been there before mate. Had a meeting with a guy I know for some time (9 years) and he asked some general security questions to me as obviously he was on an information search. the guy took what I said, published it and put his letter head on it and distributed it. The guy who does my printing called me up and said I got something in that sounded a lot like what you would say. Sure enough it was my comments. Unbeknown to me the guy was wearing a microphone and was recording my discussion as neither of us took any notes.

As a security professional now I don't allow myself to be led to help someone out as I know people will use you to their benefit and think nothing of it. I met the guy after this and he started asking questions for which I turned it over to something else and not answer any questions. Sorta like a lawyer answering a phone call and giving away information for free.

Lesson learned. Hard lesson learned. He has exposed himself to you now at least you know where you stand with him as he is for sure dishonest.

Been there, done that and never again. These feckers will never learn.
 
Are you saying that there are 'Back stabbing, no good, double dealing, self promoting, two faced' Liars in this industry?????? Never!!!!
 
Yep, that's about the size of it I suppose....

One of the things that really bugs me about this, is that I'm contacted fairly regularly by his contacts, and due to 'the agreement' I've avoided working with them. Now, it's not completely one sided, because I wouldn't want to work with them anyway, because it would be seen as a conflict of interest and therefore viewed with suspicion by my primary employer. But the point is, I could've done but didn't out of respect for my 'mate'......

He'll get his though. It's just a matter of time.
 
Mate you have my sympathies. It never ceases to amaze me how many so called mates will try it on.
On more than one occasion I have introduced an ex colleague and a 'mate' to the company simply to help them out and put some work their way, only to find them sending emails to the company directors behind my back offering to do my job!!!
Fortunately they don't tolerate that kind of behaviour and forwarded the emails to me to 'have a word with my mates' and 'advise them of company policy'.
The first time I was shocked but now sadly I realise that its safer to trust no one completely, especially ex colleagues and I'm back to the old doctrine of 'Need to know' and keep your cards close to your chest.
In the words of Shakespeare, "Sharper than a serpents tooth is an ungrateful child" (bit of culture for the site there)
 
will agree mate to much of this sort of thing happening and with it being another CPW member thats a so called mate makes it worste

BAN him to start
