Every interaction leaves me with hate, leaves me with sadness. You drain my enthusiasm. Sap my energy. Playing Simon says. You both are killing me. Leeches. No good manipulators. The worst examples of managers I have ever met. Worse than any I have ever had  before. No wonder everybody hates you. Both of you are actually deeply unpopular. But you think you are getting round people, playing the people game. Being sly, you think you are so smart. You think people don't actually see right through you.

I just need to not be like you. Not let you affect me. It hard sometimes, that you just make everyone's life more difficult. But we just have to work round you. Do things in spite of you. Not because of you. That whole team is toxic. Something's rotten from the top. I just need to not be like you. Thank you for teaching me that. At least you're useful for something.
