You know for all the discourse of how the internet brings bad stuff to us, it really stops short of telling us how to be truly corrupt and evil - anarchists handbook aside.

I've come to realise, even in my new job, that there will always be psychopaths and dysfunctional behaviour in the workplace.  How I deal with them is up to me.  I've tried and tried to be professional, but sometimes the temptation to drop them in it and let them suffer at their own game is...  well.... just a little overwhelming.  Espeically as the person I have in mind recently got back from a holiday and talked about enjoying the experience of killing a chicken.  Butchery aside, harming animals (and especially enjoying it) is textbook psychopathic behaviour.

It's just being evil is something I'm not very good at.  I've spent a long time learning how to be functional and professional.  That and my usual response it just to hate and withdraw from people like that.

I have searched and searched for some ideas on how to get back at a particular person, and it's just not working.  All I've come up with is how to be functional and overcome these things professionally.  At the risk of giving into psychopaths, it would seem, short of getting an evil profesor as a mentor, this is my only hope.  But I will give a quick, unfortunately unpaid, plug to about.com again, who have some wonderful HR stuff on how to be professional and fortunately inspiringly a whole lot of stuff on leadership.

Unfortunately some of the advice matched what BRW has to say about owning a business - have an exit strategy.  Unfortunately I don't want to change jobs again so soon!  Unless on the off chance I get a BDM role with an Aussie bank in London I just saw...  I wonder if I have to be qualified.
