I’m talking peer to peer. Interpersonally from someone with a higher level of authority perhaps in the know. Situations where one might feign ignorance to their benefit and your detriment.
Have you ever seen politics first hand?
I’m not talking about as a witness but someone who directly experienced wrongdoing. Things that lead to mistrust or cynicism. I am not speaking of top down leadership far away from you, but people in a position of power and trust around you. Those you communicate with bidirectionally
How did it make you feel? Did that feeling stay with you? Were you able to get into a better environment internally? Did you trust again internally? Did it ever happen again?
Has anyone undeserving that you personally interacted with got in the way of people who were doing good work?
Has there been a situation where you internally reported something and it was dismissed?
Have you seen a time where something was covered up, but not acknowledged?
Or strange behavior where you think someone in a position of trust and power acted against logic for malicious reasons and not because of incompetence?
What are some personal feelings that you carry and dwelled upon you internally.
