They make my blood pressure soar every time they open their mouths. Unionized no less, yet they're always bashing union employees of other companies making too much; Always saying how much further thier own money would go if everybody else worked for less, but themselves feeling their own compensation is never enough. They truly don't see the irony in their own "me me me" based worldview. To them it represents the best of both worlds in a way.

Like you said: Two faced assholes. VILE two faced assholes.
