The Psychopathic Boss
by beware_of_the_psychopaths @ 25 Sep. 2006 - 23:15:16

I have a question for you all.
I would like to bet that a fair proportion of you out there have come across a psychopath in the form of your boss. You know what I mean, the guy who charms the women, gets them into his office under some false pretense and starts cosying up to them rubbing their arm in a 'friendly' way. Or the boss who has an ego as big as the Mersey Tunnel, who knows it all and insists on everything being done his way. There is an official name for them....Snakes in Suits. I love that analogy, it fits them so well. It is a fact that most of the bosses, Chief Executives, Vice Presidents of companies, Presidents of Countries are psychopaths. Think about it. They are ruthless and cunning and will walk all over people without disturbing a whisker on their chin in order to get to the top. Psychopaths always rise to the top. Sort of like the scum that rises to the top of the soup. Only then you can just scrape it off, unfortunately these psychos in high places take some budging. Apparently it is a fact that 6% of the population in the world are bona fide real deal psychopaths and the majority of those are men.
I am going to quote some passages from some of the most well known psyhcologists who studied psychopaths in the upcoming blogs. Names like Hervey Cleckley, Martha Stout, Robert Hare, who all have some really important insights into psyhcopaths and what makes them tick. Perhaps one day you might need this information - your very life might even depend on it. Stay tuned here for more.

I know you say that most psychopaths are men, and I'm not going to contradict you. Just share a little about a female colleague of mine from a couple of years ago, and she was a genuine narcassict. (she ended up being sectioned.)

Funny you should say that because the last place I worked my boss was female and WOW she was really a psycho. A narcissist is another branch of the psychopathic tree. I have found that the female psychos tend to buckle under and don't have the stamina to stay the course. Hence your colleague being sectioned.
