Why do you have a work nemesis?

[โ€“] ours@lemmy.film 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you know what "nemesis" means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent.

-Bricktop (Snatch)

Dictionary says nothing about righteous.

one that inflicts retribution or vengeance

a formidable and usually victorious rival or opponent

Never the less, I think it's appropriate for @DivineJustice to have a nemesis.

Had. I'm on to greener potatoes now. But... I do not fucking know. That guy had nothing but vitriol for almost every coworker and I was not the only person he tried stuff like this on. I was just the time that did him in. I was even consistently nice to the guy, because, you know, I'm an adult. I tried really hard to get along with that guy. In fact when he pulled that shit, I thought we were doing pretty good. The only thing I can think of to explain it is that I beat him out for a promotion.
