Because he was always around.
Usually one thinks that "the group" is composed of individuals belonging to the same social group. But that is not true.
Usually the components of the group can be of different social extraction.
And since he used to clean and do maintenance, apparently he was the idea person to be gossiping around without
being tied to a cubicle.
Although I always suspected him, it wasn't until recently that I realized that he could really have played a role in the events
around me. Thought of him as an isolated element.
He took my phone when I left it after playing a table tennis game and kept it for about 45 min before returning it to me.
He knew information about my interactions in the company that were far beyond his rank and commented about them openly
in the places where it could hurt me more.
And he threatened employees that were apparently above him , something that seemed to be "unreal", but was not.
I am amazed about my capability to ignore danger. How I minimized Jo in my mind is one of the best examples.
It is not difficult to imagine to whom Jo really reported to.
Jo appeared in my life when we moved to the second location. In the first one he would have ever been able to move as
freely as he needed. There were many different types of monitoring and those who handled him would have not been in control
of all of them.
