hybridwebtechon Why It Pays to Be a Jerk

Actually, Europeans can be jerks and aholes as much as Americans. I'm speaking from personal experience. Given half a chance, as they were on the project that I'm working on, the Europeans behaved identically, perhaps worse, to Americans. If the stakes are right (promotion and $$$) and the opportunity presents itself, just about anybody can be a jerk and get away with it. Sorry if the truth hurts.
