I mean, what you said is very logical and makes sense. It also severely depresses me and makes me think there's clearly, so obviously wrong in the world.

I don't know that they are related but here's one theory: A lot of these people are great at getting things done. When they need things done, they simply focus on that very thing: getting a task done, everything else be damned. That means forgetting about people's egos, their feelings, how rudely you respond to their ideas, etc. Does that justify it? I wouldn't say so, but it's one explanation as to why you see so many rude people so high up in the food chain — it could be that direct attitude that got them there to begin with.

LOL..if anyone ever seemed impossible to break down... Glad to know I'm not alone, <strong>SD</strong>. If nothing else (and I'm sure your sister would agree), it will help me know what I don't want to be like. So Tim, are you suggesting I break her down?

Glad to know I’m not alone, SD. If nothing else (and I’m sure your sister would agree), it will help me know what I don’t want to be like.

She is completing an internship and her boss's boss is the meanest woman ever! She rarely has to deal with this woman, but I guess she's really awful!

I bet she has an assertive side to her, which has helped her climb the corporate ladder. However, just remember, no matter how mean she is, she is still a person with thoughts, feelings, and emotions. These people may not show it easily, but they can usually be broken down, the key is in finding out how to do it. However, people who are not mean would have no reason to do this, and in my mind, are better people than her because of that trait. Kindness goes a long way. If you are mean, selfish, and treat people badly, it will come back to haunt you in a time of need. I dont know if her success and meanness go hand in hand.
