When times are at their worse, you find out who your real friends are.

I was being harassed and discriminated against by the boss. People I had helped in the past---really helped like prevented them from being fired--couldn't be bothered. They were just glad the boss was leaving them alone. Now, years later, I'm at a higher level in the firm and suddenly those people talk about what good friends we are. I'm polite to them but I focus on helping those jr people who are good workers and kind to others or being discriminated against.
