This is a short essay in which we point out issues for reflection regarding the University and betrayal in work relations, which, we believe, has become more intense in the last few years. Based on the testimonies of academic staff and researchers and on the available literature, we have tried to contextualize the world of university work and its current dynamics, which foster this type of attitude. Certain possibilities were raised concerning the reason why they occur, including the issues of power and jealousy. It was considered that betrayal may be regarded as the beginning of the decay of human relations, from an individual point of view, as opposed to solidarity and the collective aspects of work.
