The only thing I don't like about this is that we are in an industry with the highest pays for these "incompetent but nice" people.
Coming from a poor family, with a background of financial struggles, it always upsets me how kind we all are with nice and incompetent people while they are earning their 100k+$ for no value they deliver.
They most probably both are privileged and get paid more, than 90% of world population. They are just utterly lazy.
So why do they deserve the $$$$?
I unfortunately fall in the category of "brilliant asshole", based on the feedbacks. And this is mostly coming from the bitterness that is triggered by the "incompetent but nice". The other "brilliants" and "the bests" like to work with me and I also love them.
At my current job, I'm asked to work on myself on a daily basis because of this. But deep down I feel I won't ever be "cured" from it; I'll be kind to the "incompetent but nice" but will always loathe their laziness.
First of all, your feelings are completely valid. It’s perfectly reasonable you feel the way you do.
But, those aren’t feelings you need to express outwards or let other people know you have. Think very carefully about what you want to say, say exactly that, and keep your mouth shut for everything else.
Silently hate everyone in your heart - you’re not a bad person for this. But if you open your mouth about (and what do even gain from that?) then you risk flushing your career down the toilet when you run into the wrong executive
Your advice is great I think. Indeed, this is one of the steps I took already, by simply leaving most of the slack channels I used to hang around on.
No exposure to information, no chance to reflect (rephrase my opinion) on them. Win-win for the company, the colleagues and myself.
I wouldn't go as far as I "silently hate everyone in my heart", though :-) But clearly I (we all) have to be mindful about communication with colleagues and that executive you mention, and not to think they are friends of yours who you are expected (as Plato taught) to reflect on.
