Narcissists will always find a way to make everything about themselves, especially when the narcissist in question is your boss. We have all had the experience of working for someone who is just a bit too into themselves. I remember being warned about specific rules of formality around my first boss back when I was stuck in an unpaid internship in my late teen years. All this kind of behavior did for me was it taught me exactly what kind of work environment to avoid.

However, sometimes it's completely out of your control. Sometimes, bosses change and someone is brought in who completely alters the work environment for the worse. Sometimes, you feel that you're not in a position to leave, whether it's for financial reasons or what have you. In these instances, employees find themselves in the uncomfortable position of having to deal with their narcissistic boss's strange quirks and eccentricities.

This thread was posted to Reddit by u/Osr0, who learned that their boss had created an entire annual award ceremony in his name. But wait, it's only getting worse. Not only is the award in the boss's name and not only does he fund this ceremony (and pay for the trophy) each year, but also the boss is the recipient… as if the narcissism weren't already at a breaking point.
