I had a guy that I despised working with who was like that. Even other men who worked with him found him annoying! He always had to have the last word no matter what. He would literally drag out a back and forth chain of emails ALL DAY if that’s what it took for him to win last word. If you came up with an idea, he would say something like “yes, that’s exactly what I said”. Um- no you didn’t. You didn’t even understand the tech behind my suggestion, so nice try.
A guy and I decided to talk to his boss. His behavior had reached unworkable proportions. His boss did nothing! So, I just decided to kill him with kindness. I would respond to his stupid ideas with “what a great idea. I’ll see how I can implement that” knowing full well that I had zero intention of using his stupid idea. It just shut him up! He would block off hours on his calendar where he would pretend he was busy, but he would be in the bathroom. When I would schedule something with him, he would always counter. He was way more important, of course. I treated him like the toddler he behaved like with one exception. In meetings when he liked to go off on whoever was running the meeting after he spent the entirety of the meeting scrolling through his phone to look important, I would stop and let there be a really long uncomfortable silence. Everyone would then absorb how much his comments didn’t make sense (since he was too important to pay attn to us pions) or how rude and condescending his comments were - especially to us women. You can tell people about someone, but when they see it themselves, it opens a lot of eyes.
Was it hard not to argue with his stupid comments, suggestions and annoyances? YES!! Beyond hard! But I didn’t have all day to argue with a 2 yr old in an adult’s body. Some of us had to work. He had power over me, so I refused to let him control one darn thing more in my life. It really did make it easier to lie and tell him I would make that change or add that verbiage, etc We all knew he would forget because he was stupid and never paid attn to any detail other than his opinion and his phone. The part that scares me the most is that someone married him and procreated with him. Little Murthy’s running around to be the next gen of idiot savant bullies!

Doesn’t sound to me like he's a "great guy"
