Covert actions by a coworker. Identification, consequences, solutions.

Saboteurs cannot survive if overt communication exists. Open lines of communication discourage unethical behavior and make it difficult for saboteurs to cause problems. Managers must learn to confront problems directly and then move on. Employees should be encouraged to practice direct, open communication and not to repeat rumors and gossip. Also, it is important to provide overt support for overt communication and behavior. Supporting directness is one way to discourage sabotage. Everyone involved needs to remember that it is easy to blame the messenger, but saboteurs cannot continue to practice deceit if others are not willing to listen to and encourage their continuous gossip.

Females in the workplace. Acknowledging, preventing betrayal.

The only way that backstabbing will be stopped is if women work together. All women must work toward: developing confidence in themselves; extending a hand to help others; taking the risk to be overt; confronting backstabbers and not letting them be role models; communicating with each other the lessons they learn, and becoming positive role models. No matter how badly you have been hurt, you need to claim the gift of compassion for yourself and for others. You need to build a strong and supportive network that will not tolerate covert action, and that supports and rewards overt behavior. It is an important step to becoming a happy and fulfilled woman in the workplace.
