Yes. I once worked in an office with a team of girls. Most were nice, and low key. There was one I will call G, a vivacious short girl who had a good job and made sure everyone knew she was making more money than our friends. Showy offy type, trying to act cute in front of the men, etc. She in fact introduced me to my husband. But she wasn’t a nice girl, When I began going places with my ex, she acted jealous, I think because she and her boyfriend didn’t go out much. So when a new girl came into the office, those two took a dislike to me and treated me like crap. I couldn’t wait to leave the place ( I was going to school part time and then got a grant to go full time). When I left I took my boss out to eat with my then fiancé. We mentioned her, the short cute girl, and my boss said the following: “ She thinks she’s irreplaceable. Wait until she finds out no one will replace her—we’re going to have Janet take her place ( the new girl) instead. She was leaving too. I was floored from what he said. It turned out she was pissed off she wasn’t being replaced because her job was so important.
I never did see her again, but learned she was disowned by her own children. Why, I don’t know. I didn’t ask because I couldn’t care less.
So you see, those people who mistreated you will get theirs. Karma comes back. Avoid them if you can— but don’t worry if you run into them. Let them know all is great with you, they’ll hate that fact. If they tease you, just tell them you don’t fall for that anymore, smile, and walk away.
