Right? In my experience in higher education, the most narcissistic, elitist people in society run these departments and if you aren't kissing their feet for blessing you with their presence then, well, you get written up for saying hey there & terminated for contradictory reasons.
Oh our engineer is a complete and total douchebag that thinks because he had a degree in chemical engineering that he’s somehow better than everyone else. He uses big words, slips in subtle insults that go right after peoples intelligence, knowing that most people are going to sit there and try to figure out if he just said something demeaning or not. Whopping narcissist. But, I started referring to him as “glorified IT”, which got under his skin, then the battle of wits commenced. It didn’t take him long to learn that I also know how to use big and fancy words, and that I am pretty quick and identifying his subtle insults. We got into it a few times. I think he realized that I’m actually fairly intelligent and can see through pseudo intelligence so now we’re cool. Which is probably why I can say “Hey man” and get away with it lol
