Is every Director+ level a sociopath?
That’s been my experience, 10+ YOE. Kinda makes sense, you delegate tasks without empathy and squeeze your reports to maximize output for the business. Of course they’re often charismatic enough to faux-care about everyone’s well-being and act as if they’re passionate about the product/team/company.
Yes
Not every. But maybe 90% are
Yes
Is it possible to rise to that level without kissing a$$es? (Seriously wondering)
Yes, I have seen many in Amazon & other employer of mine, who ruthlessly deliver results and grow really fast. Some are not at all sociopaths and have genuine empathy. But they are able to attract and rally people around them to deliver results which speak for themselves
What if all you do is keep your head down and work hard without actively promoting it? Don’t you need some alliances to help you sell your work?
After looking at all such fake leaders I feel - Bade haraami ho miyaan ( such a big bastard you are sir ) 😎
They may not be sociopaths actually but must do it to extract more from the workers It's a feature of capitalism. There is more to it. Dm me to learn more about capitalism and it's faults
👿
Yes has to be , American psycho personified is the way to go.
Such a great movie
Can't agree more about the "act" part. They do any shit they want to, then disguise it in an employee friendly good work culture manner.
Yes
