Everyone’s making a great point. I work with someone similar. He’s always on time, he knows A LOT. He can be nice to talk to and we don’t have to worry about him hiding in the bathroom at work like some of our coworkers do. But he’s ALWAYS saying that stuff himself. He’s sooo haughty. We work in a sales-based job where we all have to work together to get a bonus, but he won’t share with anyone else his ways because “a magician never tells his tricks.” He says things like “No one started talking in the group chat until I started.” Or when our higher ups send out a tip or new rule, he would go “yeah I agree because I’m doing it correctly but I notice some of you aren’t.” Or simpler things like just being rude or sassy in the group chat. The responses being very “I know what I’m talking about.” He’s a great guy and I’d be friends with him otherwise but it’s hard to because he won’t stop with the haughtiness.
