5I just want compete with myself and stay away from people who invent competition with others out of thin air.– user_009Commented Jun 10 at 13:23

3They can't be ignored as they are in the same lab and working as a group against OP.– TrunkCommented Jun 10 at 16:06

8"ignore" is maybe too strong, but "protect yourself, don't be distracted, don't waste emotional energy" is along the same lines. @sErlSaNo explicitly says to report actively harmful behaviours up the chain.– Ben BolkerCommented Jun 10 at 16:07

@Trunk I did not literally mean ignore them. More figuratively - as in don't devote energy or brainspace to worrying about them. BenBolker said it well.– sErISaNoCommented Jun 13 at 3:40

Turning the other cheek with hostility doesn't work. It encourages the offenders to up the ante, again and again. There's clearly a leadership vacuum where research ethos and esprit should be. The "eliminate-the-competition" crew twigged to this and the likely implications for the lab PI's professional/personal situation. It's time for a showdown. Otherwise it's death by a thousand cuts for OP.– TrunkCommented Jun 13 at 10:01

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Use tags that describe what your question is about, not what it merely relates to. For example almost every question on this site is eventually related to research, but only questions about performing research should be tagged research.
Use tags describing circumstances only if those circumstances are essential to your question. For example, if you have a question about citations that came up during writing a thesis but might as well have arisen during writing a paper, do not tag it with thesis.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. graduate-admissions), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
