Every workplace has them. They are easily spotted, identified by the way they speak. Which is out loud to impress, even though they sound like idiots.  They need the planets to align before he can start work. They will make a task sound like it’s rocket science when it’s usually a small task. For example, if it’s to remove a line of logging, they would want to create a new project for it and speak to the manager about it as if it would break the whole system.
