My boss doesn’t care about my feelings!
And that's precisely how he got where he is today. So what is the difference between being labelled a psychopath and a successful businessman? A psychopath is happy to use violence to achieve his aims. That is certainly one way of looking at what it takes to succeed in business. Of course this situation is not either/or, there is a continuum. Professor Hare's study aims to dicover what personality traits are useful in business with more than an implication that some psychopathic tendencies are useful.

I work for government and with this new South Africa, black is the new black. My boss is also black and so are the rest of my divison. I am the only odd one standing out as I am white. My boss is friendly and considerate to all other workers except me (his PA). I work my butt off, have a "job description" as long as my fore arm whilst the rest come and go as they please and practically get away with murder. He always finds something to critisize me about and he always tells me even over the simplest human mistake like spelling a word wrong, that he will give me a warning and fire me. Who died and made him God? I am so gatvol of this NEW kind of racism!
Sorry to hear about that Anon. - hope things improve for you.
