How to become an enemy in your office, the quiest way
-
Just cross boundaries and help out some other team, when they are critically struck. And then get loads of praise from the boss, publicly. -As if the other team members have been always incompetent to fix problems. The dumb one is the boss that praises in public undermining the long term work done by the team members. I instantly reject this kind gesture and acknowledge the hard work done by the team. And let everyone know , how little was the fix technique. I guess this is so fundamental. Not sure why the bosses are unaware of these work-etiquettes. If you are a boss, please note down :) hehe
Starting to think people post kid pics in their profiles because that was the last time they were cute - Jeremy Falcon.
WOAH! Mystery Unlocked. I didn't think about it this at all. It kinda makes a lot of sense.

As a 13 year Naval Officer the cornerstones in leadership: Praise in public. Criticize in private. What you describe is not so much praise, but passive criticism of the team. This isn't leadership. This is decisive, and results in resentment. Your boss publicly put you above the other members. Your boss should have simply praisedon't you efforts and encouraged the team.
Luftwaffe, 8 years. I could not have described it better.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.
