That’s really sad, I thought you had to go through some kind of psychological evaluation to be the CO of a sub, just to make sure you don’t fire ze missiles because someone ate your strawberries. That guy sounds like someone who would be…increasingly obsessive… living in isolation for months under stress. Source: speculation, am dwarf bard, not a psychoarrist.
When I was a kid I saw “The Dirty Dozen” for the first time. I thought it was a great gory war movie where a lot of Nazis got napalmed.
I watched it again a few years later and realized that it was a study of middle management. The Major had to motivate a bunch of fuck-ups while dealing with orders even his bosses thought were nuts.
Now that is classic middle management.
Arbitrary definition of professional, check
Refusal to accept they are indeed the bad guy, check.
Refusal to look like the bad guy by ordering you to behave a certain way, check.
Still expects you to behave to their arbitrary definition of professional regardless of actual job performance, check.
If this guy didn’t get a permanent mid-career manager position I swear he’s got a career in HR.
