Forums Serious Talk That coworker I hate got fired

Voltie Posted 2 years ago ( 2022/09/15 12:47:14 )
A recently fired coworker had one of the worst cases of narcissism ive ever seen. He was also aggressive and often defended his outbursts as being the result of someone else.

One of the major tipping dominoes that lead to his termination was him demanding time off. It's not unreasonable to allow time off. But he let us know he was moving at the last minute, so he requested (demanded) 3 weeks off. We were short staffed and him getting 3 weeks off wasn't going to happen. Predictably he threw a tantrum and went on about how we are all deliberately inconveniencing him.


My favorite part was if you'd point out his aggressive tone of voice he'd be like,

"Whatever you think you're hearing in my inflections and tone is a byproduct of your own delusional mind."

According to him we were all delusional. He would always find a way to argue, even over stupid stuff. It's like he absolutely had to be right and make sure you knew you were wrong, even when you weren't. Basically, he was a bully. A 43 year old bully.

He's gone now though. I just want to cry in relief because he was so stressful to deal with.

wow, what an insane person! I hope he tripped on the way out. I'm so glad you don't have to deal with that anymore!

Why do I feel like crazy people like him are becoming more common to find these days

@Jolly: The pandemic made everyone go crazy istg, and those who were already crazy just got worse. Now, not all of the crazy people are a bad crazy like that narcisistic middle-aged douchebag, but that kind of crazy certainly has become more common.


@Vampiretaco: Glad you are free of that stress, dealing with people like that is a pain in the toosh.

@MaxIsConfused:
It's so exhausting, I wish it wasn't the case! Somehow the pandemic caused some people to nurture their selfish tendencies too much.
I can hardly fathom some of the crazy people I meet in retail and how they could possibly exist that way. They must really wear themselves out ^^;
