I have worked for and with several such over the years. One appraisal said I wasn't likely to be promoted above the level I had reached because I wasn't nasty enough. I was actually quite pleased with that comment.

Just like me in some ways then Snoops? cloud9:

No frightened of letting your feelings know but still being a general decent sort under that brutal and scathing exterior. ;)
Got to be totally granite hard and utterly brutal all the way down to the core to really be successful these days. ::)

Shite.
Next?

Slight glimmer of delight though. Most impressed with the vat man with the speed he sent me a c/q for my reclaimed vat on the van. Quite staggering. eeek:

I may ring then up to congratulate them. Bit of arse licking quite appropriate in that direction don't you think?  rubschin:

OMG I know someone who fits the bill exactly not only that but they suffer from  Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

 Characterised by a pervasive pattern of grandiosity and self-importance, need for admiration, and lack of empathy, people with narcissistic personality disorder overestimate their abilities and inflate their accomplishments, often appearing boastful and pretentious, whilst correspondingly underestimating and devaluing the achievements and accomplishments of others.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Often the narcissist will fraudulently claim to have qualifications or experience or affiliations or associations which they don't have or aren't entitled to. Belief in superiority, inflating their self-esteem to match that of senior or important people with whom they associate or identify, insisting on having the "top" professionals or being affiliated with the "best" institutions, but criticising the same people who disappoint them are also common features of narcissistic personality disorder.

Not a good combination IMHO  noooo:

I find many of the lower orders suffer from that condition.

If they couldn't look up to me and have a goal to which they could aspire, their miserable little lives would be unbearable.

Sounds like Gordo to me.
