Is My Millennial Co-Worker a Narcissist, or Am I a Jealous Jerk?

Is My Millennial Co-Worker a Narcissist, or Am I a Jealous Jerk?

β€œMy co-worker seems to work more for their (I don’t want to specify gender) personal brand than for the company. This team member posts their whereabouts on Slack: They’re at a conference, at class (coursework tangential to their job), working from home! They keep us up to date on the minutiae of their travel (leaving at 11 a.m.! on a train without Wi-Fi until 7 p.m.!). They meet their goals, but I’m not privy to what their results look like β€” are they treading water or exceeding their goals?
