A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

A future-of-work expert said Gen Zers didn't have the "promise of stability" at work, so they're putting their personal lives and well-being first.

It's not a psychopath. It's a sociopath.

It's both.

Most CEOs match all the criteria for psychopathy or sociopathy

Clearly more than the average, but not "most". Last I remember the figure was something like 12%.

In a small company it sure makes a difference if your senior management are sociopaths, but if the company is large enough that you'll never see the CEO I'm not sure what difference does it make that he doesn't care about you personally.

those 12% are loud tho, and tend to shift the "company-overton-window" :-(

You're just wrong. Psychopath is just a less skilled version of the same damn thing. They don't make it CEO's except that rare instance of inheriting the wealth. Then, sure, we get a great example of it like Elon. But then they're just that.

As a diagnosed sociopath you have it completely backwards.

You would say so wouldn't you?
