The worst I experienced was in health insurance: no background checks done, and anyone with a pulse but no business training was welcomed aboard. It was like a community college class with 90 percent females. And the worst ones were the younger ones. I couldn't believe the backstabbing and cliques and gossip! So glad that's over.
Right, there are always people everywhere who have no self-awareness, not just at work.
Exactly this^
While it may 'seem' like they think they are better than everyone else, it's more likely they are just completely oblivious to how they come across. I have a coworker like that now. They report to me, but don't recognize my experience, authority, or anything. This person annoys the hell out of me and gets under my skin, but when I take time to realize they are also a decent person, and probably don't WANT to be viewed like the overbearing person they are, I have to assume they are just poor with people skills, and unaware of how they come accross, even after many people tell them, it's always someone else's fault.
We all know these types. (Easy for me to say "just ignore them", but harder to do when they are under my skin.)
I work with a bunch of nerds that I believe must have been bullied most of their lives and now that they have some power or seniority, they act like their better.
Anyone ever had to deal or had an experience with fellow employees who think they are better than everyone else. Who think are very important and also like to act arrogant.Or just think they are special and privileged . Also think they can get away with anything. Employees who think they are above other employees because of their seniority on the job and treat newer employees like they are trash .
Every team has stars. How they handle their strengths, is a measure of who they are. How you react, is a measure of who you are

It's amazing how many people with great interpersonal skills are totally unable to communicate with those who don't behave in ways they expect. All those perfect people skills suddenly disappear.

It does happen, and interpersonal skills are a big part of success at work.
To be successful, you need to both manage the team under you and the team over you. There will always be a big group of nowhere people at every workplace, even up to 50% of the staff. They are not part of your success. You need to manage up until you get to the top.
