Ask HN: How to Deal with a Snake

5 pointsby igotsideasabout 6 years ago
Currently dealing with a textbook snake (person) at work who is a few levels above me and has more pull. Without looking like the bad person, how do I combat this behavior?

Find another job and move on, without wasting your energy and emotions on that snake.

If it's not indigenous to your area, don't release it into the wild. Contact Animal Control or a major university reptile lab for appropriate rehoming instructions.

Remove yourself from the situation. Try to leave on good terms. It’s up to you whether you tell HR why you are leaving.

Can please someone help to understand the meaning of snake in this context?<p>The Chinese zodiac sign doesn’t appear to be extraordinarily difficult to deal with.<p>Harry Potter‘s <i>Snape</i> would be a more interesting problem.

Definitely release the snake outside, don&#x27;t let it bite you. Do you know if the snake is venomous? If so, exercise caution.
