It's the "designated asshole" archetype, the role can have a purpose in large companies in some rare circumstances.

It's the "designated asshole" archetype, the role can have a purpose in large companies in some rare circumstances.
- gaius 9y agothe "designated asshole" archetype A previous employer had someone in that "role", I don't think he will ever be able to work at any company that employs a former cow-orker of his. It may be fun for a short while for a certain kind of person, but it's career suicide.
- user5994461 9y agoI don't think it's fun actually. It's just the job. There are some roles, like the one Linux has, where a critical aspect of the work is to tell NO to people and reject most of their requests.
- gaius 9y agoIt's perfectly possible to say "no" without being obnoxious. But some people revel in it.
