Good call.

The thing about about an asshole is that if you're successful, it gives you a lot of leeway. If you're not, it makes it very easy for you to get canned or crushed, and rightfully so. Nobody wants to put up with someone who is incompetent and awful to be around.

Or to say it another way, a winning asshole is a winner. A losing asshole is just an asshole.
