OK…so again, someone at work called me an asshole. In specific they said that, "I'm an asshole with no compassion."

Well to that I'd have to say that I'm not an asshole, but just brutally honest.  Seriously here folks, I'm probably the coolest motherfucker you'll ever meet but don't promise me a rose garden when you don't even have the dirt to start it. I don't sugar coat shit and I tell people like it is. Sure there's times here and there that I just let shit pass me by, but that's simply because I just don't care about that person, that project or just the situation as a whole. But if you're one of my friends or working on a project that I'm heading then please believe that I'll break it down to you.

Regardless if it's friendship or business (or even a relationship), I tell it like it is because it's the best possible way to communicate and improve a situation. I'm a firm believer that a friend should always compliment  – and never complicate – your life and if one does then you need to get rid of that fucker. The same holds true for business, if an employee can't grasp your vision or gradually improve toward the common goal then it's time to let them go and this is exactly what happened.

So am I an asshole? NO. I'm just honest.
