He's a complete fucking psycho but if I say anything it will just look like I'm jealous. He steals credit for my work but everyone thinks he's the best. Boss loves him and they get along like best friends. He's basically isolated me.

Thinking of quitting a well paid system engineering job. I'm drunk tonight. Wish I could explain this to you bros properly. I'm getting fucked because I lack social competence. It's bullshit. Makes me angry.

>I'm getting fucked because I lack social competence
then develop social competence retard??? if you let others take advantage of you, you deserve to be sidelined. Social competence is the key to any functioning job role, and if you don't have it you're worse than an unskilled worker. Here's what to do:

1. Start gathering metrics of your work. I'm not sure how it works for system engineering, but for software engineering we can see commit history, PR history, etc. Even if it's just a history of JIra tickets you've worked on, or whatever project management tool you use.
2. Develop some fucking social competence. You gotta play the game otherwise you'll be eaten alive by others. Start speaking up for yourself, network with others outside your team and build up a reputation. plant rumors about said colleague, take credit more often, etc etc.

Losers are losers because they deserve to be a loser. Don't be a loser anon

Learn to beat him, you have the upperhand right now. You know your profession and its clear you understand the situation, in your mind at least. Take a step back and consider his mind, then considering how you feel about this situation I'd guess you'd have a pretty good fucking insight. Gaslighting is a perfectly normal defence in these situations, can you socially isolate him? If so go for that easy route. Otherwise find where he lives, quick bang with a hammer or any else blunt tool you have in your coom dungeon, I'm joking I'm sure coworkers have evidence of your misplaced work based matrimony. Gaslighting is your only option, turn the herd against him, turn management against him, better yet turn himself against him by planting some evidence.

How long have you been working there? At least a year? Once you have enough time in for the CV, demand a pay raise and give them your fat notice. If it is as you say, they will most likely let you go but then the cunt will have to do his own work and if he fucks up that much, hes fucked. Its all good though, just leave the company and go for a new one. If they ask why you left your previous company during the interview, let them know that you were getting taken advantage of and you didn't like it. Make sure to ask if that shit happens in their company. Will make them connect with you better and increase hiring chances.

Call it out. When he flaunts your work simply state "I did this work" and watch him squirm. When he lies state "That's not true and x is why."
>but if I say anything it will just look like I'm jealous
Get this out of your head. If someone claims jealousy say that you're jealous of how freely is able to lie.
Crush him with reality in public. Your risk is asymmetric given that you're already given up on the job. Line up a different job ahead of time if you're worried about consequences.

There is two weakness there.

(1) - He is constantly lying. You Boss is an absurdly retarded that can't see that.

Eventually, his castle of sand will start to collapse as in his desperation, he will try to lie even more and things will get out of control.
The thing is, eventually. Patience is key.

Right now he probably thinks that he have you under "his control". And that is good. It's good that he believes in that. When things start to crumble. start expose who truly get things done and that smiles don't give results at the end of the year.
Don't be afraid to go on your boss room with more evidences that he is lying when things start to crumble.

Liars don't know how to act when confronted directly, steadily, frostily, logically and confidently.

(2) - Nobody can be loved by everybody. He spend too much time trying to seducing people.
It's a mask. Build your relationships with your coworkers based on respect, humility and specially in effectiveness. Remember again that a lot of smiles don't solve problems.

Basically, give him a lot of rope and make him belive things he is in control abusing of their natural egocentric psycho personality.
Strangle him at the right moment when the impending opportunity cames.

> takes credit for my work
There's the key. Stop working, then he won't have any work to take credit for. The boss already thinks you don't work. If your coworker doesn't do his job, now he won't have any work to take credit for. Now the boss will start to hate the both of you equally. Perhaps the coworker will try to bargain with you. Squeeze him out even if it costs both of you your jobs

You need to work on your social game. Get closer with co workers and boss, and you have to call out his shit if you don't like it. It's really as simple as that. In this world you have to be willing to stand up for yourself, I really do wish it could be a place where everyone was polite, good intentioned, and all that. And at one point I tried to live my life as the respectful always well mannered guy, it works but then you run into assholes who take advantage of you. You don't need to get too aggro but calling out his shit is necessary. Or simply go over his fag head to your superiors, who is he? Don't share with him or let him in. Stop letting all these things happen.

Sociopaths are about one out of every 100 people.
You'll run into them in your life, at every level.
You won't change his behavior, and you likely won't change your bosses opinion.
Your boss is either a fool who can't see the truth, or a sociopath himself.
Best advice is to find another job.
With engineering skills that shouldn't be too bad.

I had something similar combined with a cunt of a project manager that was literally the fucktoy of one of the main company directors. Every work conversation i had with her went poorly, i tried multiple tactics without much success. The best tactic i came up with was to stay quiet in meetings and just agree with whatever dumb engineering solution she would "ask" me my opinion on, even that was unsustainable. The other problem was that the other dev on the project was completely incompetant chain smoking moron who had previously been fired from being the development manager at a games dev company. Stupidly when i joined i tried to help moron man with the basics of doing his job, but it was a terrible mistake, for every ticket he would copy paste my code from a previous ticket and make it return dummy data. I wouldn't approve the PR and he would go off to the cunt PM who would then "ask" me to approve the PR. This kind of cycle carried on for 6 months until i got pulled it a meeting and fired over my "attitude". Story over.

First thing you need to do is realise something is actually happening to you. My first clue was that lots of upper management i'd never met suddenly knew my name in the kitchen. It was obvious cunt pm had been talking shit about me, in relation to her poorly managed project.

Second is understand that current situation is unsustainable. You either need to actively try tactics to fix it, metrics on your work, sending out progress reports etc. Or you need to leave. I should've moved to a different team within that company in hindsight. Instead i found a much better job that paid more money with a good team and all my issues went away practically overnight, where i have never experienced anything else like this.

> tldr; Just leave. It's probably not worth hassle to fight this cunt. Grass is greener etc.
