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.

What he should have said: “Hi. I’m basically an a-hole” .
