People who manipulate others- particularly for a living, have a solid toolkit
there’s a tool called whiteanting
pay particular attention to some of the mechanisms in whiteanting
Spreading rumors and false information about the target[3]
—————————-
The key mechanisms used for "white-anting" a person include:
- Setting the target up for failure by giving them unrealistic time frames or workloads[3]
- Micro-managing the target[3]
- Leaving the target out of important emails and meetings[3]
- Spreading rumors and false information about the target[3]
- Filtering work away from the target and to others instead[3]
- Resisting the target's new ideas and initiatives[3]
- Forming alliances with others against the target[3]
- Stealing the target's ideas and passing them off as their own[3]
The search results describe these tactics as a "covert form of bullying that aims to undermine or discredit the achievements and influence of another; a subtle form of sabotage"[3]. The goal is to subtly erode the target's standing, credibility and influence, often while appearing outwardly supportive[1][2]. This "white-anting" behavior is characterized as passive-aggressive and done behind the target's back[1].
