A 45-year-old IT professionalâ??letâ??s call him Daveâ??and his co-worker were both up for a promotion. â??It was a coveted spot, with compensation around $400,000,â? explains career coach Connie Thanasoulis-Cerrachio. â??The co-worker started to plant things in Daveâ??s head, like â??I think the manager is saying this,â?? or â??I heard someone say that.â?? Dave, an already insecure guy, started to unravel. Heâ??s not working there anymore and is currently looking for a new job.â?
