I resonate with this. I ran into a guy in the early part of my job at a company several years ago. We had a 30 minute discussion about how to collaborate. By the end he was screaming at me. I realized there was something deeply wrong. I realized he was completely incompetent in his job and was very threatened by being “exposed” by having someone like me (knows the market) enter his space. He then started spreading rumors about me and trying to humiliate me in public. He screwed up and dropped the ball on a major deal I referred to him worth millions. I was so fed up with him I told him exactly what I thought of him. He escalated it to Hr and it blew up hilariously in his face. Incompetent people are the most dangerous and nasty people, and most vindictive. You have to be so careful.
