How normal is it that even your closest team and confidants want you to fail or to take your position? Is it only an American thing or is it world wide ?

>confiding in your coworkers/underlings
It's like you want to get screwed over.

It happens world wide. In pretty much any sector. From banks to the government.
Only small to medium sized family businesses are fairly safe.

This is 100% true, I feel that small to medium business are trying to protect themselves because they earned what they needed to live plentifully. In offices everybody is jealous of everybody, fuck that man.

I think most businesses go to shit when the distance between the founder of the company and the work floor becomes too great. Then it becomes impersonal, work that needs to be done turns into positions that need to be filled and efficiency and teamwork become meaningless. When the founder has left and shareholders take over, which usually involves random people in positions of power getting fired, shit really hits the fan.

My best friend wants me to fail. Why? Because you are in competition with your peers. When you win they feel they have lost. Nothing better than making your friend feel that way.
Depends on the geographical culture. Japanese and most eastern work environments have a very "familial" culture. They might not be nice to you or give you the best hours, but they see you as family and don't actively try to ruin your career.
Compare it to American/western work culture, where everyone is fake-nice and is secretly thinking of ways to undermine you.

trust your master while you serve. never trust a peer or subordinate; they are strangers to you

It really depends on the individual... Which is also the case for Western cultures.
