[QUOTE="KDM, post: 326570, member: 314"] In my experience both militarily and civilian, ass kissers are that way because they lack the ability to stand on their own two feet in just about any situation. They lack the ability to take responsibility for their actions, make logical decisions, and rely on the benevolence of their boss/commander to not get fired. People that are good at their job and care about it don't feel the need to kiss ass. It is also my experience that when the job/mission is important, it is NEVER given to an ass kisser, because the boss/commander KNOWS the ass kisser won't/can't get the job done right. Do ass kissers occasionally get an accolade, sure, but I personally feel pity for those individuals, not anger. When the chips are down they are the first to fold and everyone knows it. I'm pretty sure the boss KNOWS who's good at their job and who just gets by. Other than being a bit unprofessional for blowing up at the guy, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Being an officer in the Navy and managing many other civilian projects, as the boss, I didn't mind a bit of territoriality when it came to the job. It showed me who actually gave a shit about their job. Keep your chin up and press on. You may have just helped this guy be better at his job. [/QUOTE]
