Gold-hat

Individual working for a company or team that is deceiving, intentionally withholding of pertinent information, falsifies documents, or attempts to sway one’s decision with a “shit eating grin”. Individual who sets up their subordinates for failure by not properly training them, then blames them for any mistakes.
Derived from the deceptive practices of superintendents/project managers of contracting company Hensel Phelps and the gold colored hard hats they wear.

I asked her if the work had been inspected before they closed up the wall, but she just smiled- What do you expect, she’s a gold-hat.
