I think that's a reasonable reading. I don't think 3 obviously implies what others in this thread seem to think.
I can believe that my coworker getting a huge bonus/raise means that I am getting less as a result. It doesn't mean I think it shouldn't have happened, or that I'm going to attempt to sabotage them. I can acknowledge something that isn't beneficial for my cause without immediately desiring to end that thing.
- margalabargala 5y agoThat's a great analogy that I think is spot on. To expand on this bit though: > It doesn't mean I think it shouldn't have happened, or that I'm going to attempt to sabotage them. You can probably see how if you go to your coworker, and tell them "It would have been in my best interest and created a world I more prefer if you had gotten less", they may get upset with you. This is what's happening here.
- ifyoubuildit 5y agoYeah, that's an absolutely fair take. To paraphrase a movie quote, he's not wrong, he's just an asshole.
