Those pickmes who are not comfortable sharing the limelight with you are the absolute worst. If you don't like me then there is no need to pretend, I have always been a handful. But commenting on my jewellery which I buy with my own money just to appear cool and garner laughs is so pick-me-coded.
Pickmes have a habit of negging constantly. This one gets drunk even at office parties. I of course ignored it and spoke to my friends about it to cope. Has anyone been in a similar boat and got ahead of the whole situation?
Look for another job/career, be the very best at your job so you get promoted to somewhere else or become their superior , make work friends with people in power, learn how to become witty if it is safe to put them in their place...
