Question for readers: What do you do when someone you work with (say, an assistant) wants your job and will do anything to get it - lying, conniving, etc.. What do you do when you have thick bosses who fail to see this, or don't care as long as this person does not take their jobs? I have seen articles online about what to do but they all give the standard - put everything in writing, talk to your bosses, etc.. and these things have either been done or are of no use.
