The article made a very interesting reading. The link to problematic colleagues was awesome. I would like to add, I have seen several of these types in my thirty years career. There are credit stealers, last minute entrants to run over the work. There are also bosses who have their own whims and fancies to form own likes and dislikes. Worthless people are pampered because of this nature. There are bosses who always depict that they know everything (notwithstanding they know certain things because of the persons whom they are addressing). But life is like that, we have to live with them. Unfortunately, when they hold the mantle, everybody has to be at their mercy, it's the sad part of the story.
