Negs and Psychic Vampires

Question: How do I deal with negs?

My Answer : Negs fall into three categories - those that simply want attention (give it to them), next, the majority - those that love to moan behind your back because it gives them some perverse pleasure, (see next) - and those that will always do so not matter what you do or say (get rid of them from your organisation).

The majority are the biggest middle group - ask their opinion, on something that you know they know something about, in front of witnesses (in the main office) and if they say they do not have an opinion, say no problem, you will come back "tomorrow" again. Always works...

Question: How do I deal with psychic vampires?

My Answer : Thank you for explaining what these are! - People who suck the blood and energy from your very being by their negative comments, behaviour and approach to life.

OK - simple - and it requires great bravery - agree with them - they cannot handle it, it is the only way you can...
