I have seen the "hyperaggressive" type a few times. Sad commentary: I would MUCH rather work around them, than the straight up sleazy swindling thieves.
They are thieves. You just don't notice because you're busy defending yourself from their bullying etc. These two camps are the market and
office-political hammers and anvils of the IT industries.
Worse yet, a general case across all industries: Lots of working stiffs have the strange idea that somehow their "profit margin" on the job grows in proportion to the time spent looking busy while doing nothing. They think they are "sticking it to the man." I think they are morons, and I mean that literally; it's a slave mentality.
Homey don't play that.
Over the years I've noted that the workplace no longer cares so much about the quality of one's work as long as one 'gets along'. But the people who are often the best at what they do have high-power personalities to match. Most, in my time watching, ended up as consultants. I think Tim May, the list's founder is a classic example of what I'm describing, along with my Mechanical Engineer friend who got cut in on a measurement technique patent for a few mill at HP. They got their chance, and GTFO! Rr
