    2026/02/28

    In this episode of WORKPLACE ENTANGLEMENT, we dive into the chilling reality of psychological manipulation where power doesn't need hands to leave a mark. Maya, a brilliant Lebanese structural architect, thought she had secured her dream career at a prestigious Paris firm, only to find herself ensnared by Julien—a boss whose predatory nature lived in the shadows of implication and the safety of denial. This isn't a story of physical harassment, but of a far more insidious violation: the systematic destruction of a woman’s reputation through "concerned" whispers and "private" mentorship. When the boundaries of professional guidance blur into gaslighting, Maya must confront the reality that her greatest enemy isn't what he does, but what he suggests to everyone else.

This first-person account pulls back the curtain on how a master manipulator uses "loyalty" as a weapon and turns a protégé’s cultural identity against her. From late-night emails to locked-door strategy sessions, witness the calculated erosion of a career and the painful lesson that some scars are invisible. If you’ve ever felt like your reality was being rewritten by a superior, or if you’ve seen the "gentleman" boss play the victim while dismantling a subordinate’s credibility, this episode is a raw, spicy, and jaw-dropping look at the consequences of professional obsession.
