Years ago, I worked under someone named Pat (not the real name). Pat was always focused on what Pat wanted. But Pat also had a nasty habit of gunning for certain folks on our staff. One night while I was out on the town, I got into a conversation with someone who asked, “Eddie, what did you do to Pat??? They can’t stand you!”

Matter of factly and confused, I responded, “Nothing. What did I do?”

“No idea, bruh. Just watch your back,” he said.
