'Imagine [making] an award to give to yourself every year?': CEO pays for his own annual award ceremony, demands standing ovation

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.
