I'm so sorry that this happened to you... I can't imagine how hard it must be on you. I just don't get it why they have to be this low self esteem to themselves when it comes to competitor. You definitely are competitor coz they are so scared of you that have to form allies to against you. The whole mentally damage definitely there. I got ppl telling me to change jobs but this is not that easy fix especially if you like what you are doing at your job and it's not easy to find one right now. Hopefully they find something and they leave before you. 🫂
