They’ll grow up to be tomorrow’s CEOs. I am constantly amazed by the number of sociopaths I meet in business... well, maybe I’m not so amazed. This is where they begin, as classroom bullies

Wow.

After my last post, I had gone into the other room and was thinking about just this, laughing a dark laugh in retrospect at some of the truly sick things that I've endured from bosses or have seen in others.

I'm not anti-business, but the commonly held idea of the businessman as the paragon of virtue and the epitome of American ideals is often pretty far off the mark...and I'm not surprised that all of these factors might lead to workplace violence being more common.

(grin!) I took a huge step away from the corporate environment a number of years ago, just to give myself a rest from these maladjusted people.

The money is good in the corporate environment, but strangely I don’t miss the corporate sociopaths. At all.
