Yep, I've got one of those at my office too. Occasionally a nice guy, but overbearing personality and far too aggressive - one of those people that isn't happy unless he's complaining (or ranting, up to and including yelling and flailing his arms around) about someone or something else. Sharp guy in a work context and very "get-it-done" when it comes to tasks, but can't work as part of a team, can't cooperate with others, sure as hell can't manage, etc.

I think he's kind of pissed at me since I've been promoted into project management and he hasn't (gee-whiz dude, did you ever think it MIGHT be your inability to professionally interact with any of our mechanical engineers, our structural engineer, our client's contractor or any of the clients, outside of giving them a brownnosing and sucking up kind of demeanor whenever you talk to 'em on the phone?) Decent technical architect but absolutely devoid of spirit, design passion, vision or willingness to work with others. To him, it's just a paycheck methinks and that's why I got promoted around him. Oh well. I ain't gonna' apologize for it.
