The, Rules of Work, 4th Edition

Most people you deal with are probably decent and good to be around. However, there are always a few who aren’t. You can’t avoid them – the bastards, the jealous colleagues, the ones who will take any opportunity to stab you in the back or do you down. They’ll shoot you down in flames at any chance they get. Make sure that your new image doesn’t make you a target. These Rules are about minimizing enemies and staying one jump ahead. As you get more successful, it is often a sort of organic process that you attract jealousy and envy. By practising these Rules you will avoid this and look after yourself – especially your back.
