@JustOneDad : Well done…I’ve honestly never seen “true” cut-throat behavior. I’ve seen hypercompetitive behavior like some A students straight up avoiding collaboration in curved classes or constantly comparing their scores to others/creating rivalries. These types are capable of some unsavory behavior in terms of the way they treat and talk to others, but they do not sabotage others. Perhaps the OP does the comical stereotype of a “cut-throat” person…you know a completely different level.
