The ones with no soul at all. The kind that makes you want to chop their head off with a hoe every time you see them... Different degrees of evil...

And the "good" news is it's pervasive. (reply)

I see it in my workplace and hear from others much the same. We use the code word 'climbers' as in they do not care who gets trampled in the clime up.

Pretty much so...Congrats on y'r new relieved condition.. (reply)

Unfortunately in business it can be an advantage - no (reply)

Conscience to get in the way, ruthless and driven. They suck up to their bosses and downright evil to the people under them. Adopting whatever mask they need to get ahead.

..and even a moderate case of sociopath-y in a co-worker of boss, can sour a 'work unit'. The problem does not yield to reason, for the offender is not based in commercial values and rewards. Nor does one wish to get into that 'handball court', and compete in that 'game'. I believe the amount and virulence of this malady, really rose rapidly when MBA's sorta got devalued and were declared the necessary 'paper', in order to 'pre-document' competence on the job -- and to grab a rung on the ladder of success.

Not to denigrate those with good business ed, and have thriven on that knowledge -- but it didn't take all that long to see the less talented degree-holders, turn the paper into "It's Your Fault I Am Wrong."

Not that an MBA was ever necessary for a certain kind a fraudulent aggressive behavior, but it sort of put a polish and legitimacy on it.. JMHO....it's just that not all, but good many of the 'paths, seemed to love Dat Ol' Diploma.. However, the very worst truly functional psychos, have so many braids in their rope, that only a good hanging would be an appropriate cure.

Sigh...sometimes I wish there was a 'defense' called "The SOB deserved it. Now bury the sod, and let's move on."

WAY too many are attornies..... we need balance. (reply)

The book says there is a much larger percentage of lawyers (reply)

That are psychopaths than other professions - probably true of legislators too (of course a lot of them ARE lawyers).

Some folks by coming in to a room . . .

Others by leaving.

Remember when around the den, there may be more that one snake in the area.

Jus Sayin!

Very interesting day - the boss I had so many run ins with (reply)

Very happy for you. I retired from the work force before I had to deal with that crap. Hope it will be smooth sailing for you now.

Have gotten me in trouble. It was almost a party atmosphere on our floor - tells you how bad morale has been!

Congratulations! (reply)

Get her the book Snakes in Suits: When Psychopaths (reply)

stonewalrus — Thu, 19 Jun 2014 20:32:39 +0000

Come to work. It is enlightening but also unnerving.

Probably not but at least I may not be walking a minefield (reply)

stonewalrus — Thu, 19 Jun 2014 19:52:48 +0000

Every day.

Tom, they haven't got to our unit yet... (reply)

happy for you. My wife is going through the same thing right now. New boss is about as evil as can be. She all ready got caught in a bold face lie with an employee and then lied to HR blaming the employee. Employee documented everything and she got a new job with the company in a different department, Unfortunately the evil #^^% still has her job.

But as I look around the complex, I'm the last one still standing. I guess the handwriting's on the wall. I've been preparing my house for sale, and calling in all my "markers", preparing for the inevitable I suppose. I'm the last one still here that came up through the ranks. I don't know anyone around here at all anymore.
I'm glad to hear your situation's improving.

Congratulations! I hope you get the promotion. (reply)

Is out the door. To her experience was a horrible thing and she was always right. She only made it two years! Morale has improved considerably!
