"But he's a hard worker" is the employment equivalent of "But they've got a good personality".

yep, behind nearly every workplace arsehole is an enabler
I've talked to 3 other people who previously worked with him and they were all in agreement that working with him was way too stressful and his unacceptably awful behaviour is enabled by a management clique who think he's a "character". One of them told me he got walled by a 19 yr old Labourer after running his mouth and was so humiliated he never returned to that site. Heh! I'd have loved to have been a fly on the wall.

My opinion is that if someone's an arsehole, it doesn't matter how good they are at their job. Their behaviour is having a negative effect on their co-workers.

It doesn't matter what skills they have, they're a net loss and need to go. Especially if they in any sense come into contact with customers.

Obviously but if management think they're useful they turn a blind eye. Speaking from experience here as there's one particular guy where I work with who is a horrendous bully, just completely unemployable anywhere else, but because he works really hard and knows his job inside out he's allowed to get away with - despite all the anti-bullying/harrassment programmes and schemes and box ticking shite management bombard us with. The other factor is that he's a snitch and an inside man and when I worked with him he would spend an hour in the manager's office every morning telling her - whether she wanted to hear it or not - how badly everyone had done their job the day before. When we got a new overall manager I tried to gather lots of evidence on his horrible behaviour to present to her - all that happened is I got moved on and he quickly made himself indispensable to her by bypassing his line manager and going directly to her to inform on his colleagues. Thankfully I don't have to work with him anymore!

She punched the horse in the face and is part of a foxhunting group. She's obviously a twat and I highly doubt she has any empathy for her animals.
