He would constantly put my work down and pin creatives against one another. He did not see projects as collaborative. He also refused to see us as people on the same team, let alone playing field. He was so vocal and so aggressive, he forced himself onto all my projects. Eventually he kicked core team members off projects just so he could claim them for his own.

I often dream about being on a pitch and not being able to deliver, or not being chosen for a project because my work isn't good enough, so there has got to be some deeper levels of anxiety there that I'd prefer not to consciously acknowledge.
