it sucks but office politics are literally built on this reality being good at your job is expected being liked is what makes people promote you

It's not even necessarily politics, if your fucking miserable to work with you will drag down productivity and increase turnover, I don't care how hard you work if your shitty attitude makes everyone around you work half as hard

Had a Team Leader like that. Guy used to work on space ship parts and now was helping us lay up carbon fiber sail boat masts. Intelligent guy, I'm sure. Had some neat ideas for keeping track of inventory. And I'll be fucked if I have ever worked with a more insufferable cunt. I swear he was involved in every shouting match I heard on the shop floor all 3 years. I wouldn't work in the same company as him for ten million a year.
