There is absolutely no evidence here that they have dunning krugers.
In fact, their continued employment at a company that routinely cuts the lower performers is probably evidence against them having dunning krugers.
- dragontamer 11y agoThe guy's entire 2794 word anonymous rant is 100% about himself. If he wasn't a narcissist, he'd have managed to fit at least a few words about how a coworker was mistreated.
- bduerst 11y agoThe 2794 word post is 100% about his experience at Amazon. Not writing stories about your co-workers qualifies you for NPD now? Why are you splitting hairs?
- dragontamer 11y agoHe's talking about his management and how it affected himself. The fact that he has failed to account for how his management effects his team is very telling about the guy's personality. I'm not asking for much, just a paragraph or two that proves that this "throwaway" account isn't 100% narcissistic. But again, nearly 3000 words and nothing about teammates or coworkers in there. That's pretty telling honestly.
- ubercore 11y agoIt's not a disorder, like something that someone "has". It's a logical fallacy that affects most (all?) human brains to varying degrees.
- dragontamer 11y agoGood read. This is an important note. _Everyone_ has the Dunning Kruger effect. It is a glitch that occurs in virtually all human brains, including myself and yourself. That's why its very important to keep coworkers in mind. You can be a lot more objective about other people than you can be about yourself. Its like the eternal joke goes. If you ask a team "who is the best programmer", everyone will probably say "me" or "myself". However, if you want to _really_ know the best programmer, ask the team who the 2nd best programmer is.
