Could it also be that being screwed is a matter of perspective? I imagine in a non-insignificant number of the she-screwed-me-on-the-way-to-the-top cases that the alleged screwee is sour because he or she missed an opportunity or simply was not the better candidate for the promotion?

I'm not being a contrarian, but I think it's interesting how our biases and perspectives shape the way we understand things and situations. I've noticed people (myself included, no don't) trying to spin a situation to make them look or feel like a victim instead of admitting they were simply not as good as the alleged screwer. Not sure if I'm even stating this correctly, but maybe someone can help me elaborate.

Wow. Well, your bio isn't lying, I'll give you that.

According to karmic religions him having screwed someone over doesn't let you off the hook for the bad karma you're accruing when you screw them.

Luckily karmic religions aren't real.

Maybe not but 'karma' in its original meaning of cause and effect is: if you hurt somebody, they will be hurt.

No, but real-life-karma (people you've fucked over will get back on you 10 times as much once they get the chance) often is...

luckily?

yeah it would be the worst if everyone got what they deserved.
