I've done performance reviews where the employee thought they were awesome, pointed out some stuff they should work on, and have them get all defensive.

The best is when they quit/get fired and you feel so relieved. I had one employee like that apologize for quitting because she knew we'd be screwed without her. When I said simply "don't feel bad, we'll be okay" she got quite upset. My whole team morale got better without her constantly trying to point out problems and how only she could solve them.
Literally every employee I've had that felt that way, improved my business when they left
