I would NEVER hire a psycho because people like that cause endless drama and bullshit. Now I have to hear about it constantly and everyone is going to question my judgement (as well they should) if I were to hire an asshole like that. I've had a few people who would get a little hot under the collar at work. Nothing big, but they'd get pissy and irritated on meetings, pretty minor stuff. They ain't even curse or yell. I'd STILL have people up my ass about dude because he got a little shitty during a call. I could not imagine having a genuine whack job who fucks with people on my staff. So much time wasted on Mr. Grumpy-but-Harmless. Have Professor Cockstain on the team would be endless misery.

The asshole at work creates more work than they do. Anyone who hires one knows damn well what they've done and unless they have the balls to fire them, they're complicit in keeping them around.

Sane people don't hire assholes.

Can confirm, dealing with that type of asshole at work. He wants to do as little work as possible and offloads his responsibilities on others, causing massive slowdowns and inconveniences his fellow coworkers who all hate him, but management loves him because he's a suck up and a snitch (read: often makes up stuff about people to get them fired). It's so infuriating that these people just skate on by.
