Corporate Meetings or Power play?

I found that it is difficult to like or respect some people however hard you try. I have tried hard to get along with a new senior recruit in my office. More a peer than a boss but his job is more important than mine and so is his pay.

This guy actually told me today that he keeps people who have come for a meeting with him waiting to prove his importance. What, he needs to prove something to a vendor/consultant that he is superior?

According to him, if you are punctual for a meet, you do not have enough work. I wasted precious time today pandering to his ideas when I did not start my meeting with the consultants without him. Someday, I am going to get confident enough to tell this guy what I really think.
