Chapter 3 Passive -aggressive communication

This concept really interest me mainly because I am experiencing a lot of this at work. I feel that people who use passive-aggressiveness as a form of communication are very selfish and not trustworthy. At work, I have two managers. I have my counter manager who runs our cosmetics line and another manager who runs the whole cosmetics department. My counter manager and I use to be friends before I started working with her. I have the same manager experience as she but I came to work under her as a part time worker to focus more on school. When I started working with her, she had just got promoted to counter manager. The main cosmetics manager was noticing that our counter was always messy and seen that I was constantly cleaning. She approached the other girls and I and asked if our counter manager was doing any of the cleaning and we told the truth and said no. My counter manager was always making me set up and take down for all events and gave my coworker and I bad schedules. She never worked a Sunday and always opened. The main manager quickly noticed and instead of my counter manager working on helping out she talked really bad about me and blamed all her failers on me. She stabbed me in the back and went straight to the manager instead of talking to me. Before I had talked to the main managers about the issues, I approached her and gave her a chance to fix it. Her intentions were to make me look bad just so she could make herself look good. I think she it is jealous that I make my goal on a daily and she is scared that I will take her positions which are not my intentions at all.  People who are passive-aggressive try and find an easy way out and tend to point fingers to make themselves feel better. I hope that these people will find a better way to communicate because this form of communication will not always get them out of trouble.
