Crab mentality is always there regardless of what culture you're on but this type of behavior is more prevalent in Filipinos and had it refined into a fine art.
This is defined as: if I can't have it, then you can't have it either. Since I'm so green with envy about your life, I'm going to make sure that you're going down...hard.
I think this is the reason why my new coach is going to quit his job. He is a good person and one of the most technologically-gifted people in the office. He never backs down from anything or anyone, maybe that's why he is perceived as arrogant. Maybe he is but if he has what it takes to be arrogant then he should be right?
He fights for his team and that is one thing I never saw with my previous supervisor. He is very strict but fair in his dealings with us. He's our dedicated PS, coach and friend. He's smart in a streetsmart kinda way and will shoulder our failures so that our career won't be affected. He's not that bad really, very blunt but at least he's being honest and does not talk bullshit.
But some people are scared of him and in Machievellian philosophy: when you fear, you hate. That's what happened in his case.
The bad thing is the entire team is involved in his problems. Management never hesitates to put anyone down regardless of who gets stepped on.
I hate for him to leave since he had done so much for us and it's scary if he does. Where do we go from here? Our team had been together since August of 2004 and that would be detroyed because the senior director and the PQA hates his guts.
Karma will come eventually but I wish they would just up and die. Then let them rot in hell.
