Law #19 of /The 48 Laws of Power/: Know Who You’re Dealing with – Do Not Offend the Wrong Person
There are many different kinds of people in the world, and you can never assume that everyone will react to your strategies in the same way. Deceive or outmaneuver some people and they will spend the rest of their lives seeking revenge. They are wolves in lambs’ clothing. Choose your victims and opponents carefully, then – never offend or deceive the wrong person.


From The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene.

1. then there are the people who attack for no reason.
Like toxic bosses who take out their rage on their employees, who have done nothing wrong. So they make up some crap to get upset over.

If I did that I would have a stroke and thus be dead or disabled.

2. Law 2: Never put too Much Trust in Friends, Learn how to use Enemies


Be wary of friends-they will betray you more quickly, for they are easily aroused to envy. They also become spoiled and tyrannical.

But hire a former enemy and he will be more loyal than a friend, because he has more to prove. In fact, you have more to fear from friends than from enemies. If you have no enemies, find a way to make them.
