UPDATE: 'CEO didn't understand what my department did apparently': New employee decides she's a supervisor and refuses training, workers maliciously comply with her demands

Having your usual workflow interrupted by a new person can be quite disruptive. There are some companies that just run like a smoothly-oiled machine. The workers all know each other and can anticipate the other's needs. They communicate well and have a good balance when delegating tasks. Oftentimes, their bosses will let them carry on like this, because it's good for morale. If you don't dread going into a dysfunctional workplace every day, chances are you'll be a happier employee than someone whose workplace is full of chaos. 

When a new person joins the team, there might be some hiccups at first as they get the lay of the land. But oftentimes, they adapt within a few months and become part of that smoothly oiled machine. 

Then again, there are times like this, when a new person joins the team and just… refuses to learn. They think they already know everything there is to know, which is, ironically, a sign of someone who isn't intelligent at all. Smart people spend their whole lives learning and improving. Refusing help and insisting you know it all is a sure sign of someone who isn't very bright (or at the very least, has some ego issues.) You can check out the tale of what happened with this person's new boss, as well as the update of what happened to her after things started collapsing around her ears. 

Next, read about some managers who were dealing with the worst workers ever, like one boss who revealed an employee was "sleeping on the job. She was a lifeguard. Fired on the spot."
