Oh, yes, I had the experience of working with such a person years ago. What made it more difficult than just being a co-worker, this was one of our associate directors. He was incredibly charming at one moment and coldly calculating and malevolent and destructive the next, and it took me quite a while to realize he didn't care if someone was harmed. I know the term is probably overused these days, but that's when I learned the definition of "sociopath." As others have already said, this truly may have been one of the ways he moved up the ladder to a successful position in the organization.

OMGosh......this sounds exactly like the individual who was supposed to be the office manager at the place of employment from which I retired from. I could see through her every inch of the way. She was one very two-faced individual. And, knew absolutely nothing about managing an office. I really had very little to do with her......did my job, and did it well. And when it came time for me to retire, I was one happy camper.......

Yes....a former boss lady....she got herself canned because of it. A real shame because she was super smart and had a lot of business experience that would have benefited our small company but her true nature kept her from keeping her job.

I've known a few but it was always related to a bottle of vodka.

Oh and my ex...when he took a drink he was a totally different person who suffered from mental constipation and verbal diarrhea.

Hi, tansy. Sometimes I wonder if alcohol brings out the real person or if it causes a good person to make terrible mistakes (sort of magnifying the faults we all have residing within us). I'm not sure what the answer is -- maybe it's different, depending on the person and the situation.

Yeah my sister in law. Shes sweet to everyone but treats my brother like dirt. He does everything as in cooking, cleaning, laundry, yard work, yada yada. He is a great father too like my dad was, and he works full time. She has it made. Oh he also took her to Europe twice and all over the USA. She doesn't appreciate any of it. Too bad he doesn't stand up to her. Shes a witch.

Well, straykatz, we have that "ex" thing in common. One day was just "ok" and the next was a nightmare. The highlight of my day was when he was at work and then went to bed. He was quite the narcissist. After 4 1/2 years of counseling and 21 years of marriage (the latter part on paper really), I threw in the towel and got a divorce.

Thank the Lord, I found a wonderful man who appreciates me for who I am and he's a keeper.
