AnonTechie writes "In business, intelligence is always a critical element in any employee, because what we do is difficult and complex and the competitors are filled with extremely smart people. However, intelligence isn't the only important quality. Being effective in a company also means working hard, being reliable, and being an excellent member of the team. Companies where people with diverse backgrounds and work styles can succeed have significant advantages in recruiting and retaining top talent over those that don't."

Repent and change your jerkish ways. Being a jerk is about how you treat others not about who you are.

You think you can make people change because you say so? This is how you treat others? Guess what: you're the jerk.

In my experience, people who spout this nonsense are trying to control you for their own jerkish agenda. Don't fall for such bullshit and call it out as soon as you detect it! It's the only way they learn.
Make sure you're in good with management too or they will try and defeat you with accusations of verbal abuse!
