I used to work for someone who thought he was the new Steve Jobs.

If you can see through the lies and manipulation tactics it can work out but some people will not get out alive if they can’t adapt.

One thing I noticed was that rude language or sexual references were kind of used as a calibration technique to try to gauge people. I am sure he did this and many other little subtle tricks unconsciously as he wasn’t really that clever. Manipulating people was his talent so to speak and he seemed to enjoy to have a little puppet theater around where he could play with people as he pleased.
