And in the interim, before you're non-replaceable (which very, very few people actually are even if they follow your suggestions), you'll definitely be fired for being an asshole to your coworkers, barely doing half your job, and as jensens said having horrific technical judgment. And rightfully so, and now there's a company of people who know you and what kind of coworker you are.

Several times in my career I've had my boss or one of my boss's peers send someone's resume to me because our tenures at another company lined up. Sometimes I knew them, and sometimes someone otherwise very well qualified for a job on the technical merits didn't get an initial interview because they were horrible to work with.
