Is There Just Always A Snake In The Grass??

So I feel like I can t find a job without detecting a snake in the grass. Some crooked som bitch that decides you re a threat at some point and tries to manipulate the boss who s also crooked. Are business owners always like this? Is it like chess? Should I always be strategic in finding the threat?
