I once shared a quote with an old boss of mine:

"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea."

He gave me a blank look for a second and asked "why did you tell me that?" I said "I came across it recently and liked it a lot - thought it's worth sharing." He gets this hoity-toity look and says "huh. I think it's trite" and walks away.

About a week later a few of us are in the break room and he walks in and announces, very self-satisfied, "I saw a good quote this morning: 'if you're not pulling your weight, you're pushing your luck'." Just the most trite, authoritarian nonsense.

He was just an arrogant, unthoughtful prick like that. That kind of thing really speaks to someone's character, to me. He also made fun of disabled clients and talked shit about employees with other employees, so there's that.
