Military pilots see EVERYBODY as inferior
My boss is a former AF pilot -- not even a fighter pilot. (He flew those huge cargo airplanes.) He has little to no respect for my work, my opinions or my expertise despite having hired me as an expert in my field and despite the fact that I'm critical to his company's operations.
Not just me, but I'm one critical component. And he has no more respect for the rest of his employees, including the other ones who hold the place together.
Of course, it's always possible that he's just a prick.
Anon for obvious reasons.
