Goby ego types
-
Has anyone ever worked with a big, mouthy ego type, so full of their own wonderfullness, just oozing smugness with every contrived sentence? I have had the displeasure to have suffered such a person for a few months, and along with that, there has been a complete inability to actually produce anything. Endless excuses, delivered in an unctuous, self important way and whose solutions, described in a highly self flattering fashion, manage to totally avoid the fact that the problems were caused by the pillocks own stupidity! And the managers never realised! Such is the depth of incompetence on display that not only has the company paid nearly 100K for a few days work, but the fact that it took many months to be half delivered, in a buggy and unfinished state, actually delayed and cost the company even more, and not only that, but the level of self satisfying noise emanating from this particular individual led to all kinds of bad decisions and erroneous paths of investigation being followed that the effect has been even more deleterious than is immediately apparent! Has anyone else seen professional incompetence verging on outright fraud?

These guys are great if you do not work with them, I went through 4 contracts in the 90s (about 3 years) repairing one guys screw ups, it generally takes a few months for an organisation to realise they have a fake on board but a good manager will spot it and chuck the guy.

Have any of us not? Bullsh1t is the main recourse of the incompetent. Backstabbing comes a close second.

I can see they make the real engineers look like gods. If the management ever notices...

The guy I'm thinking of was his own worst enemy, we were members of the same user groups, and he could not help bragging about his new client, I would then get a prior victim to contact the new client. He had a great line of bullshit and could sustain it for 2-3 months about the time the client was looking for real progress, oops!

This prat has lasted 6 months. God knows how the managers haven't canned him ages ago, he has produced next to nothing in this time.

A very funny book "How to be a Superwally" describes small motorbikes with the silencer baffles removes as having a high noise to power ratio. You just described the human equivalent.
