Why do people say such hurtful stuff? I was working helping my community at a center for three years. A few strange things happened that I still think about. I was talking to a manager about narsesistic personality syndrom, or NPD. After I explained some syptoms (grandiosity, attention seeking, lack of empathy) he said, "oh yeah that's me, I totally have that." Then I thought, "How can I be working for a manager that has NPD! get me out of here!." I left after three years. I had learned all I could at that job. I got upset at times but eventually I learned to be calm and be determined to help the company. I know I will have more co-workers in the future. I think it would be wise to continue keeping a professional outlook. I would not say my co-workers or mangers were abusive at that job. the good that came from that job was a lot of professional training. I look forward to having more employment after graduate school. I'm sure it will be an adventure. Has anyone out there had similar strange experiences at work that were difficult to understand?thanks
