I work with a guy like this. Lead his icebreaker with "I don't understand people so don't expect me to interact with you."

He's the most brilliant person I've ever worked with. His knowledge is encyclopedic. He will show you how what you're asking is idiotic in as few words as is necessary. He has no fear of manager or customer.

He has my eternal allegiance.

    It helps if your field of fucks is barren and you've none left to give. I really love it. My boss told me if I wanna go up in the hierarchy I'll need some diplomacy training to speak to higher ups and I'm like "do you really think I say those things by accident?!" :,D

    I run my own company (a one man operation) contracting technology services primarily to a single business with occasional short contracts to other businesses. My main contract has been the same company for several years. I've gained enough trust to say a lot of really blunt shit to C levels.

    That's the thing. A lot of them want someone to be blunt to them from time to time. If they don't have that they become unmoored from reality.
