I work with a guy that I distrust. He displays at least 6 of the traits. He is a liar. Rules don’t apply to him. He is cunning and manipulative. He was a kid involved in stealing and petty crime (he let that slip out). His long term goals, as he tells the bosses, are unrealistic. He shows no remorse or guilt.
The worst part is that he is getting promoted and might be my boss.
I already work for such a guy. If he's not a Psychopath, he's at least a malignant narcissist. This guy is the only son of wealthy parents who have apparently never been able to discipline him. Unlike Trump's kids, his only job has ever been "owner of company".
My boss scores a perfect 100 on this list. My advice to you: keep your head down and document everything on the work email system. (Send emails to "clarify" conversations and twisted encounters, disguised as an honest "reflection".)
If you are close to retirement, make your plans. If not, consider the options around you.
But don't fight back. You can't win.
I’ve dealt with people like that, and it can be very liberating; they set the bar very low...
