That is no lie! I work with a number of them! Most are women! One is a supervioser and when she is around the booss,she is a major suck up! When she is away from the boss she'll tell everyone how much she hates him! Another woman loves to back stab her friend when she isn't working but when her and her friend work together they are really chatting and like they are best friends! It is crazy! I know men do it too! I worked with a guy who would say he could not stand our baker at that time but soon he saw her he had to go see her and get the lasted gossip! Very crazy! I wish people didn't do it but it amazes me how many people do it! How many two faced people do you know?

Hi Blue, I know way too many people like that. I really think that they just like the drama they create by talking bad about people more than that they actually dislike these people. not sure. I know that when I don't like someone, I will be civil to them...friendly even if in a situation where we have to work together. I just don't go out of my way to be around them when I don't have to. And I definitly don't like talking about them or even thinking about them when I don't have to. When someone comes to me with workplace gossip, it just makes me uncomfortable. I don't want to be a part of it at all.

Ya, I don't think any of us are above a little gossip sometimes. Sometimes it is harmful though and I just really as a rule don't like it.

i think in some ways the people who are two faced just love the drama! Gossiping,too! I know the women's day would not be complete if those things weren't done! When it comes to gossip I don't hear alot of it but I got to say I like hearing it once in awhile! I know that is bad but what I hear everyone else hears!

yep, but as a matter of fact almost all are 2 faced. Its just that some are over the top. Since we all gossip (except for a very very few of us) it by default makes us two-faced.

You are right on that! I can be two faced when I want to know some of the gossip that goes around work! I'm guilty! It just gets me how bad some people get being two faced! I think if they were not they would not be happy!

I know alot of very two faced people aswell and i now do not see half of them as i do not drink in the pub that they go to as i am stuck indoors.Its when you find out that they have been stabbing you in the back aswell as a few other people that are your so called friends that are also two faced that you try to avoid them.

I rarely see my co-employees outside of work. Avoiding is easy that way! When I am at work and I hear back stabbing going on I stay away from it! I know they back stab me but I'm pretty sure they do it when I am not working!

I know men and women can be both two faced. Where I work there are more women then men! So the women are back stabbing all the time! I hear men at work doing but not much at all! I did work with one guy who was extremely two faced and I mentioned him in the discussion! When he wasn't being two faced he would try and cover his tracks up! That never got him anywhere and made him look like a fool! I'm glad he is long gone!

We are living in a DOG-EAT-DOG society nowadays, and many of us live like this. But I remained standing on neutral ground, I listen at one side & the other side not siding at anyone. If I need to choose to side one then I have to weigh very carefully for me to really choose the right one. I tend not to be biased at most time. When someone complains about the other I don't give comments, I just listen.

DOG-EAT-DOG world is right! I am mostly on neutral ground when I hear some of the stuff. I only get involved when I feel I need to. I also tryt to baise when I can.

I agree that there are lots of people who are very two-faced but I don't think that you should generalize women as per my experiences there are so many men who are also very two-faced specially if they just wanted to flirt with girls.

I know women and men can be two faced. I unfortunley have the pleasure of working with a number of two faced women! In the kitchen I work in we have more women then men! So this why I have experienced so many women being two faced! It isn't pretty!

This is all too common in the workplace I think. There are people who play these little political games, to try and advance themselves. I know people who will try and be your friend, but turn around and downgrade you in front of the boss behind your back. This is very common, all too common. The business world can be a very cutthroat place granted, but there are times where it is taken a couple of steps too far. Sadly, two faced people are people that we encounter each and every day. I doubt it is going to stop for any reason. It is a shame for sure. I wish less people are doing it but it is getting more common. I guess the motto these days is, you scratch my back, then I'll stab yours. It is very frustrating and it can really make it extremely hard to trust people. And perhaps even gain the trust of people who have been burned time and time again by others.

There has been back stabbing going on before I arrived on the scene! it just seems to get worse every year! Believe me I learnt quick you don't tell,the women,anything that they could ammo against you! I did that and I got stabbed in the back! So I only trust the few men I work with. I know and they have not back stabbed me! Never will! With the women it lik a vandeta! They aren't happy if they aren't doing it to someone!

Yeah, I know people who are like that, and I know them at work too! There are two friends and they call each other "bes" as in,"bestfriends" in FB, hang out together, eat together and everything that bestfriends do, but there was a time I overheared this other girl telling something bad about her "bestfriend" to another co-worker of ours. I say I was shocked after what she had done, not shocked by the news that she has told. I thought she is a friend, but I was wrong. I felt pity for the other girl who still thinks they are bestfriends.

The so called best friends are currently in New York city! I'm sure when they get back and they aren't working together there will be lot of back stabbing done! I know they just don't do it to each other but to everyone in the kitchen! No one is off limits,including me! There is a lot of back stabbing going on where I work!

Yes - UR right only because such type of people soft hear ted persons face lot of problems in life.Because they do not have the guts to say daringly. In many sections of people such category are available and we have to be very careful in our movements.
