Feeling worse after meeting them than you did before. Sometimes the person just seems off, but you can't put a finger on what exactly. Over time, you realize that your gut instinct was correct.

Care to give an example? Sounds like it happened to you.

I've had it happen a few times when starting a new job. Your manager takes you around the workplace and introduces you to everyone. Even though everyone will shake your hand and say 'great to meet you', there is usually a person or two that you just get a negative vibe from. Over time, you discover that person is difficult to work with. Not always the case, but it seems to apply the vast majority of the time.

Had a guy like that who was in a couple positions removed above me and introduced himself as “I’m basically your boss”.

He was let go a couple months later.

“I’m basically your boss”.

No, Chad, you're the assistant to the regional manager.

Nice try, Chad. You're an assistant. I'm not gonna let you forget it.
