CEO takes new hire out to business lunch, makes wildly out-of-touch comments: ''He basically asked me to make him a billionaire'

When you start working at a new company, your first interaction with the head boss in charge is likely to leave a lasting impression. Whether or not that impressing is a good or bad one is likely up to how self-aware your new boss is.

Here, we have a CEO who took his new hire out to lunch not long after he started in the new position. In theory, this is the sign of a kind and attentive CEO who wants to form an individualized relationship with the folks working under him. Unfortunately, that assumption was far too generous. What ended up transpiring was a self-obsessed narcissistic dude who was less concerned with inspiring his new employee and much more concerned with how his new hire could help him. Note that we said "help him" and not "help the company."
