history: I once told a co worker about an upcoming job promotion and they applied for it themselves, but also made me look bad in the process. That's terrible! I suppose sometimes things backfire_comma_ no matter how good our intentions are. What happened? They tried to make out I was bad at my job_comma_ that's the last time I'll give somebody a heads up at my own expense again. Oh_comma_ no. That's awful! Did you report something that had occurred at your job?  I sure did_comma_ thankfully I've been there a lot longer so they know me well enough. Yeah_comma_ that's good. It's hard to know whether to blow the whistle sometimes. It could always come back for you. I'm glad that it sounds like it worked out.
current: It did, but it could have ended very badly for me or even have resulted in me losing my job.
next: Yeah, navigating those sorts of things is treacherous, but as long as you know you're doing the right thing, that's all you can do.
