I'm (for the first time!) working with a narcissist who seems to enjoy making people feel like shit and then love bombing them, it's been remarkable to see how successful it's been as a way to create a little army of yes-people for him. How do you handle the downright mean people in your companies?

Howdy…I need a sanity check! As part of my previous role, I reported security non-compliance and gross security misrepresentations. For my valiant efforts I was laid off (despite being a protected whistleblower) and my reports were buried. Everything I did was in line with my responsibilities. I was extremely concerned that systems housing personal credit data on all US consumers were not adequately protected. I essentially risked my job to protect data and I’m not sure if it mattered.

Does anyone else feel like people who are generally nice in person and on calls sound mean or stand-offish in emails and text/chat?

Or maybe i'm just an overthinking copywriter who's reading into it too much.
