1. Yes, it is obvious to everyone we would be using that program, what I actually asked was...
2. Why don't we have to worry about it? Are you on top of it? What do you have in mind?
3. The cat videos can wait until later, could you be professional and put down the phone for a min? Thanks.
4. I have never heard that phrase since working here once. What exactly is collate?
5. Are you sure? I don't recall it being mentioned and I think we could clarify it more for everyone. This is fairly important.
6. Maybe so, but we need to deal with the monthly planning session first.
7. That is obviously not what I have said at all.
8. Slash his tires after work.

Gaslighting only works if you're a boss. If you're on my level or below, good fucking luck. You're getting called out.

I have had clients/bosses do at least six out of eight of those things. I pretend to be oblivious to it for $ and passive-aggressively get back by being slow/distracted with work. When I'm left to my own devices and no bullshit is pulled, they get excellent work quickly. Gotta condition them.

No, my current work environment is actually extremely friendly and mostly helpful, but I have been in relationships that felt like that pic.

Ex's father was a big law attorney and he pulled this shit all the time. It rubbed off on her and she would do this kind of thing constantly. For example, that number 7 "Rephrase what people say into something completely different" is a STRONG fucking tactic. if I said something like "I don't want to fight in public, it's embarrassing," she may respond with, "Oh you think I try to fight with you in public? You think I'm embarrassing?" - stuff like that. Just total gaslighting, sociopathic insanity.

If you feel like you're getting gaslit at work/in a relationship, I advise you to get the fuck out. No amount of money/comfort is worth that stress.

lmao sounds like my mom. It's honestly impossible to deal with this in a relationship though, besides leaving and cutting off contact. At work, getting personal makes you look bad and unprofessional. In a relationship, whoever cares less is in power. So "Yes, you're fucking embarrassing me right now and you need to calm your tits" will get you the upper-hand in the long run, while "No, what I was trying to say..." will make you look weak and submissive and she will lose respect.

This has happened to me a few times. I quit soon afterwards and find the next bunch of retards to work with. I really want to work for myself but need to save up. If people are performing tasks without all the social distractions they tend not to do this. Great team and environment generally means getting involved in their social bs and the inevitable gaslighting between them when one gets outed for not showing up at some random social occasion.

I'm dealing with that right now, as an accountant. My manager is 20 years older than me, but he still manages to find time to set up a gossip group chat with some of the single mothers in the office. When the work is going "fine" he tries to pretend to be normal, when he can't get something done he tries alternating between giving half truth heart to heart talks and playing a TV sociopath. This week, he's been attacking everything that I say because our IT department forgot to update one of the reports that we both use at the end of the month, even though I have nothing to do with it. Typing this shit out makes me realize that I need a new job, but I figure it'll be the same shit wherever I go.

Bro, I dated a bitch like that for a while. She loved verbally sparing. She of a bitch in bed too, loved biting me, didn't matter where. Lads......damn was she aggressive in bed.

Its like a fucking sprint while lifting the heaviest thing you can think of; you give ot all you got making her scream uncontrollably.
