Assuming your boss is willing to do the right thing. Bosses are people and most people will do what is easier and let a narcissist get away with it, rather than hold them accountable.

[YoungGunner]

They call me the narc destroyer. I find it fun to pretend like they don’t exist, call them out when it’s appropriate, let them target me and smear me and watch them destroy themselves while i crush my job and totally ignore them. Its easier then you think and takes zero effort.

[elliottadams]

I’m currently dealing with a narcissistic coworker, at the time writing this comment. And to make it worse, they are fixating on me and actively trying to get me fired for a complete accident. 💀

[spiritwarrior]

Never allow them to have u leave, act like they don't exist and give no fucks and you will piss them off

[rockstarofredondo]

Never be alone with them. Do not go to job sites with them. Do not be in rooms alone with them. Always have witnesses. They are prone to false accusations and potentially even violent attacks. Always record them when they try to physically approach you.

I have a couple of coworkers like that at my work. They are constantly trying to boss everybody around. Gaslighting is their favorite thing. Our manager doesn't do anything about the whole situation. Some of our crew members have already given up and are taking orders from these narcissists. Others are trying very hard to ignore them. The workplace has become so toxic!

[garycordle]

Observe don't absorb and once you know you go you get out and you stay out

[irenabe]

Yes. They can dish it out, but they can't take it when someone dishes it out to them.

The worst is when the boss is narcissistic. Then there's no fairness or level headedness.

[georgiafrancis]

trust turns to hate in a on alert with a narcissist, they do not care about only care about themselves, what they do and how they get what they want.

[LeahIsHereNow]

This guy who started at my job about two months ago, and is the most bloviating, arrogant showboating person I have ever met in my entire life and no one can stand him because he is such a know-it-all rude jerk. Anyway, last night he was closing, and I did some extra things that I didn’t have to do to help him and I pointed out something that I did just so he would know I did it and he didn’t need to… And he said, “try not to hurt your hand from patting yourself on the back so hard.”

Classic projection, and I almost fell over… I wish I would’ve clapped back, “well, you’re the expert, Sean… I’m surprised your hand is not permanently sprained” but I will be prepared for his ridiculous little narcissistic shots at me next time.

These people are so lacking in self-awareness it’s comical. 😂

[annastone]

Emm.. any boss I’ve had had only seen me as the problem for not ‘being able to sort it out myself’

[sallyh.]

I disagree with them knowing what they are. I think the main factor that differentiates a narcissist from an asshole is the narcissist believes their own lies and that nothing is their fault. It’s that delusion that makes them so difficult to deal with.

[Kyanite]

Remember logic! No person on this planet has an opinion that really matters.

[shakiellaachee]

I do t think this girl is a narcissist but there’s this level of projecting her insecurities on other people. Yes she craves validation in how much she’s asking other workers about practically nothing. The first time she started she tried to get others to laugh with her at my hair, when that didn’t work she scoffed at me just giving her a compliment, I let it go and she seemed to understand but I knew something was wrong when I asked her a question and she completely flipped the question around and came back and said “you said the male supervisor told you something wasn’t his problem” my eyes got wide and I said noooo he didn’t say that and I didn’t tell you that. She tried to do a he said she say by putting this man in the wrong when he did nothing. And all I did was ask her something since he was too busy to help me. Idk how she pulled that out her ass. Then she started to project about my complexion with the female supervisor. I got tired of her today and told her how ugly her energy is how rat like and how weasel like she is. Then I went a little over bored because she rallied two other women to get the harassment going and I wasn’t going to let it go. I’m not going to speak to son but the boss is exceptional in just how they work and engage with the employees. When the problem was known… this girl who was into trying to covertly harass me was now crying and trying to push certain points of how I reacted to her. I feel so stupid for reacting because it’s what she wants. Idk wtf it is but it’s like they can smell positivity and they just want to snuff it out. It was so cliquish and she’s the ring leader. The other workers don’t care but the hair hat and the tall strange one was willing to be toxic with her. I’m too old to be checking people like that. But I don’t condone any kind of bullying and I feel it’s very spiritual because they pick and choose they don’t try just anybody.

[hieroglyph]

Damn, thanks for this. This is so precisely true about a new colleague and I know how to deal with them now. Thanks

[uppackandship]

thank you for the video, dealing with one now ....im stressed to the max

[WhammyBamber-wnjv]

The boss who employed the narc is probably also one

[siuabc]

Just realized my internal client/director is a narcissist and playing with me for the past 5 months of projects I thought we were working together: stealing my work credits 100%, blaming everything including me for anything that isn’t working, not respecting me but just need me to do his team work, not accountable for anything for him and his manager (his manager is a mini version of him), love to show off and BS on anything for executives/management, using me as his filter for work and scapegoat.

My win win approach at work obviously doesn’t work here. Re strategizing to deal with this Narcissist…. Unfortunately, my priority to get projects done is no longer a priority. Ensuring his accountabilities, making sure management knows work I have done, and protecting myself at work are my priorities now.

5:46 exactly! When I confronted him I did all the work and used my weekend, he fought back and criticized that I want to claim credit….

[rakastellar]

I was instinctively just minimizing contact, because if I exclude them directly I might be sent to HR. It is really, really difficult

[rainbowkitty]

Don’t engage unless absolutely necessary!!!! That’s that.
