New Villain Era in Current Events

I mentioned on Monday that somebody had it out for me at work. Today, I discovered more stuff was missing from my bag and I told my boss. I found my missing stuff where the rest of my things were dumped. She told me that after today I won’t have to worry about it and then she explained that she couldn’t tell me more until tomorrow morning. Today was his last day, Mike. He has it out for me because I reported some of his behaviour to HR.

I don’t know if he quit or was fired but a few things clicked. First of all, he’s currently going off in my DMs but I am ignoring it. Either he was fired and was working out a notice or he quit and worked out a notice. Either way, we were all kept in the dark. When the position for the full-time was posted it was posted prematurely. My boss didn’t get a chance to announce it. She also explained to me that things weren’t finalized at that time but my HR posted it anyway. So this means that Mike, the guy who hates my guts, just watched his position get filled in real-time. I didn’t get word yet if I got it or not but if I did… then it looks like I stole his job. Those are the optics anyway. I thought they were growing the team, I did not realize that they were replacing him. Nobody will know what actually happened except me and the other coworker who was involved. At least, they will not know my side. He’s probably having a public nervous breakdown on his FB about it and me. He got in trouble because of his actions, not mine.

Tomorrow, everybody will know he is not on our team. They will know that I was the catalyst because narcissists are what? Predictable if anything. He’s going to go on a little campaign to make people turn on me. Am I the drama? Am I the villain? It is what it is. I don’t see any retaliation from my team. They understand my character enough to know that I would only take things this far if a line was crossed. If something was said or done that could not be taken back. I have no regrets.

Anyway, I really need to study. I am procrastinating as per usual.
