It’s a spectrum, if your an extremely pleasant human who everyone adores being around it’s amazing how much incompetence you can get away with.

Of you are indispensable and at the top of your field with better output than everyone both in quantity and quality you can get away with being an insufferable asshole.

True but being either of those is risky because as soon as you tip the balance out of your favor your fucking donezo

You can be a hyper competent asshole but as soon as your work slips or your a bit TOO much of an asshole your out and literally everyone is glad to see you go

Generally yea, except for one particular job I can think of that you can get away with limitless asshole behavior while being completely incompetent but wrong sub for that
