That Co-Worker You Can't Escape

Life repeats itself in unexpected ways. I’ve worked in the park service industry and finally landed a seasonal job at a sought-after park in a neighboring state. The experience and insight I’m gaining are rewarding. Initially, I felt I had a solid team. However, one individual’s behavior echoes past workplace drama I experienced with the airlines—people who thrive on creating chaos and making situations about themselves. That pattern still frustrates me.
