  • I think you may have good reasons, but I don't think you should accept hate as a good answer to their bad attitude. If they really are snobbish, then it's okay to be bothered about it, but remember that they are in constant stress and may not be in their best moral phase or position as people. Rather than hating them, I think it would be better to feel bad about their behavior, and pity how they resort to a sense of superiority; they probably don't do that just because they are bad people, but rather because that is an easy way to rationalize their unreasonable schedule and feel a little less awful about themselves, when they may not even see any viable way out. If they undermine others, make subtle comments about how everyone's job matters, and if they are "whining", see that as a sign that things are not well for them, offer them a hand to the extent that you can or is willing to, or at least some understanding, and suggest that they seek professional help. If they work 80 hours a week under constant stress, they are even at the risk of dying from the pressure. I have also felt like you several times in the past, but I think hating them is just as bad, perhaps even worse to some extent than their reactions to stress, so right now I try not to do so. Like charli mentioned, people who work like that may never recover, so I really think the effort of empathizing for them and helping as much as we can is worth it.
