Cluelessness?

[Brakeman]

Well you are definitely not likable, but I do not think your a sociopath either as you do show some concern and acknoweledge some level of empathy towards the terriable burden you put upon others. I just think you are a good ole fashion butthole who has a little bit of power and abuses/hides behind it.

Now is this a bad thing in what you do/job? Not nessarily. If you need to remain objective and need to push up, or maintain a given standard then a company needs a butthole if for no other reason to get rid of crappy work and crappy people. It seems this is your job, which means your boss see your potential.


If you are not comfortable with this, then know you are not like your father. If you really want to be you underlings friends and well like, shirk your responsiablities and let people get away with stuff, or find another job.

I smiled when I read that you think I am not likable. Well, to people with good hearts I am likable just fine. But you are not all wrong, no not at all. I once was a person that very few liked, and I swam in hate. I made many harsh decisions because of it. But I got better, I met my current wife while I was contemplating a overseas military assignment and I never looked back.
I have a fantastic wife and family who love me very much and I they. I have good friends at work and they know I will lend them a helping hand when I can.
I do have a problem of poor choices of humor. Once, one of the casting managers that hates me so, cringed instead of laughed when I joked that he was kind in hiring the blind to inspect parts but to please hire at least one who can see. He didn't even smile and I didn't apologize. So that's kind of how it is.
They complain that we are too picky, and I complain that no one likes shit products and to just make the 10% borderline parts like the 90% good parts an I'll get off of his ass. Well, I have to push and push hard because it is my duty, but for me, as someone who is trying to be a recovering "ass-hole" as you put it, it is a struggle to do it in the right way with the right words.
