    Translation - he cheated

    Is there any other sport or occupation where fellow “workmates” actively try to get you into trouble?

    Well done Will on the call up and the column.

    Have you ever worked in a US office environment Grist? If you had you would know the answer to that is a definitive, Yes!

    No surprisingly I haven’t

    But US companies don’t crack on about respect and have badges on their shirts saying just that.

    They might not wear it on shirts but they do crack on about it ad nauseam. In fact, looking on the back of my security badge, inclusion and respect are listed as two of the company values. About 5 years ago, a coworker really stitched me up over a project and when I respectfully called him a c@nt I was the one who was fired

    The horses head in the bed might have been a better approach.

    Much of the legal profession will consist of trying to exploit failings on the opposing side I'd imagine. Also, anyone involved in safety inspections.

    Hmmm....I get the gutter tactics of the financially driven legal profession, but not getting how it links to safety inspections?
