“...mean, nasty and difficult to work with ...”
That is the way incompetent and inadequate people behave. Their sense of incompetence overwhelms them and they are defensive to compensate for it.

LOL! Yup. In my years of work I learned that the least competent were the biggest bullies. Their way of trying to insulate themselves. Cackles another tell that she’s BSing us.
