Working with folks that are intensely narcissistic can be draining, very draining. Good to remember that they will not react to conflicts with empathy or human decency, or at best will fake these, and that they can only be counted on to act in their own self interest. All of the time. Set boundaries, be blunt and know how much you are willing to sacrifice for specific issues.
