You are brilliant, and correct in your "assessment," as it is 'spot-on,' in my opinion! We needed someone like you, instead of them - there. But? Who am I to tell them how they want to run their ship! You want that kind of environment set-up, where everybody is constantly looking to slit one another's throats? And make things up, so that they can get them in trouble? Were talking like many-year vets pulling out all of the stops; towards sabotaging one another's jobs & putting their statuses in jeopardy here. And just because you can say it, and document it, doesn't mean it happened (when it comes to word of mouth). Anyway? I digress. . . 
The Front Desk Manager was different in her background from the General (who was more traditionally from a business & hospitality management side of things). She, began in the laundry room, washing linens I believe. After 20 some years on the shelf, or raising kids. So she'd been there for maybe five years or something like that when she'd met, I'd hesitate to say "fell in love with," but was taken by me & my personality; at least 'professionally.' And this is where the big discrepancy came in when it came to meeting the other (the general). As from the moment she'd laid eyes on me - she'd already hated me. And so, I knew, from our first "brief," introduction. That I was on a short-clock, or watch, and that she would be looking to be 'out to get me!' As for the other her number one. He was a very anal retentive person. Which is only one reason why everybody, from both sides, but no more than my manager, hated him and his guts. I found him favorable however. He was very intelligent, and very wise. Especially in this industry. When I was in my first year there, I could ask him a question. And he would explain it to me, IN GREAT DETAIL - & so that I understood not only the answer/in terms of being what the solution was. But ALSO & Furthermore: the reasoning behind it. So the 'Why,' so to speak; or as it were. And I therefore, gained an incredibly amount of insight, and a wealth of knowledge, in a fairly short period of time from when compared to how it would have been, sans all of that. Not that it mattered much in the end. Nearly every body there loved me. No-thing all that unusual in that regard. I like to make people laugh and feel good about themselves. Do hard work. Pick up extra shifts. Etc, etc. But that (STILL) wasn't good enough. If my MGR loved some-thing; then that meant the other, HATED it. Period, end of story~!* (only thing I could've done in retrospect, was try not to be so good: or "high," on my mgr's side, or 'list,' so that I could've somehow flown under the radar for a little while longer, or something? I don't know, really!). But that other guy, the one everybody would always run to me and gossip or talk shit about - how he'd done this, or how he'd said that, in regards to some action on a previous given shift that I'd missed... he wound getting another job at another location that was actually a promotion Front Desk Manager, like the very next day. Of course, aside from his excellent working knowledge within the industry, I believe he also had an in, or some strings pulled, by said GM of / or on ~ from 'Our side." With, or in terms of, when it comes to/or came to - connections. : )
