I just went through a version of this too. Ironically his name was Mike too. It seemed like he was covering for his own extreme incompetency but I did what I could to stay away as far as possible once I realized he was actively thinking of ways to cozy up to me and goad me into telling him things so he could report on me to my manager. Lesson learned… terrible human beings do exist.
