A great reminder about how we can be belittled by anyone in many circumstances. It’s down to us to ensure we surround ourselves with the right people at the right time.

Quid: how do you identify the right people Jonathan? How do you find them?

I didn’t know about the crabs! Fun fact ;)

Fantastic take on an interesting phenomenon. What do you think are the best ways to leave these "crab cliques" without causing bad blood between everyone involved?

One you realise you're in a crab bucket you care less about the bad blood and more about just focussing on your own goals.

That being said, i've seen people just sort of slowly "phase" the people out who are dragging them down and that seems to work.
