The white male college graduates, usually of the neoliberal/libertarian persuasion, who earnestly believe in meritocracy. The ones who truly that their abilities got them where they are and that they are better than those who don't share the same accomplishments.



I don't know that we need to get do demographic on this one. I know plenty of non-male and non-white people who arrogantly beileve in true meritocracy.

On a side note, I also hate the people who play the game - focusing on politics to get ahead resulting in them eventually being inept in their leadership positions.

And in general the state of management/leadership training as well as performance evaluations are abysmal.
