The Pretenders

There are these people in the company that I work for who have no other thoughts than to further themselves or their own agenda by boot licking the bossess or management of the company. They convince the bosses to promote themselves to “managerial” positions when it is obvious that they still lack the knowledge, experience, & skill for the job. Their only edge is that they cuddle up to the Boss and eat, drink, laugh & play by spending their time as hanger ons with the bosses . Their thick skins on their skulls precedes their qualifications.

Clearly they are sycophants out to basically destroy the lives and income of those who do not join their ranks or promote their agenda, people who do not surrender to their control or just those who do not take their “side”, they do not like those people that they cannot manipulate because they are perceived threats to their existence. They can no longer balance their thoughts and decisions because they have been overly zealous and die-hard company yes people that they can no longer see through things to have a better perception of matters, they only look at one side...thats the company side...and could not care less about the rest...only to show to the bossess how they "Care" for the company.

These people are really talking people down and talking themselves up to the bosses. They are no other but bullies in every sense of the word…they have the Jekyll & Hyde nature - vicious and vindictive in private, but innocent and charming in front of witnesses; no-one can (or wants to) believe this individual has a vindictive nature.

They are convincing, conniving, and compulsive liar and when called to account, will make up anything spontaneously to fit their needs at that moment. They manifest lots of charm and is always plausible and convincing when peers, superiors or others are present; the motive of the charm is deception and its purpose is to compensate for lack of empathy.

They depend on mimicry to convince others that they are a "normal" human being but their words, writing and deeds are hollow, superficial and glib. They displays a great deal of certitude and self-assuredness to mask their insecurity when they talk they are always speaking of what I have done, I was able to do that before, I can handle that, etc.

They are control freaks and they constantly displays a compulsive need to criticize whilst simultaneously refusing to acknowledge, value and praise others.(Always showing that they are better than others or that they know everything)

They often have an overwhelming, unhealthy and narcissistic need to portray themselves as a wonderful, kind, caring and compassionate person, in contrast to their treatment of others; the bully is oblivious to the discrepancy between how they like to be seen (and believe they are seen), and how they are actually seen.

They have an overbearing belief in their qualities of leadership but cannot distinguish between leadership (maturity, decisiveness, assertiveness, trust and integrity) and bullying (immaturity, impulsiveness, aggression, distrust and deceitfulness)

When they are called to account, immediately and aggressively denies everything, then counter-attacks with distorted or fabricated criticisms and allegations.

They are overly aggressive, devious, manipulative, spiteful, vengeful, doesn't listen, lacks a conscience, shows no remorse, is drawn to power, emotionally cold and flat, ungrateful, disruptive, divisive, rigid and inflexible, selfish, insincere, insecure, and immature. Most people in the company have already identified "them" and they are on the top of the list of the most hated people in the organization.

Personally they are despicable people…Sometimes I am tempted to join the hate-bandwagon, to wish them ill, to castigate, to do what they themselves are doing and to do such things to them, to go to war with these people…but I’d be no better than what they are and have become…poor souls…they don’t know it but they are already dead…On the other hand…I could also blame the bosses for not seeing the deceptions around them and because they have been blinded by people singing all praise to them…thinking that they are small gods in themselves and that they could do practically what they want with people’s lives and feelings…shame on them…shame on their lot…I pray that someday they will realize the hurt and disappointment that they have cause to others…or if not be at the receiving end of their own deeds…and feel what it "feels like" to be bullied...
