A condition where there are two possiblities. you have either simple haughtiness and arrogance, the more commonly implied meaning. however there are those who have an equally obnoxious affect, but which comes not from pride, rather their constant exclusive occupation with their own feelings. Theirs is not the slight narcissism of the former, rather one who has a graduated notion of the sanctity of their own emotions.
Every time I open my mouth, the guy cringes at some perceived insult or lack of regard for his notion of social delicacy. I find when he finally opens his mouth that he is not totally without compassion, but just that his compassion extends mostly to himself, that he is self-absorbed, and frankly, wretched.

A "no bullshit attitude" is an amazing thing to receive from someone who knows what they are doing or talking about, isn't willing to listen to whining or a bad attitude, and calls you out on your mistakes so you can improve on them.
And they expect you to know not to take anything they say personally, because they don't mean to. They don't know "who you are" anyways, so why should you be offended, and why should either of you care?
It also means they don't want to hear about your "style", If you're working for them, they've been there for longer than you, have earned their stripes, and simply just know better.
A "no bullshit attitude" isn't an asshole boss though. There are three-strike rules. They take the charge and pick you up when shit is hitting the fan. They give you responsibilities which are reasonable. They will however call you out and not disguise their lack of patience when they see irresponsibility, laziness or carelessness.

I wonder how this guy even got the job. He acts surprised every time he's called out when he fails to perform a responsibility he agreed to when he read the job description. Clearly he can't handle our no bullshit attitude.
