          I would paint ‘Fuck you and your rock’ on it before throwing it though their window

      That’s not a mint. This boss just hasn’t been taking his hard to swallow pills and is trying to delegate even that.

    It’s basic game theory and a race to the bottom. They either come together to set a bottom, do it by threat of violence or by law.

    Game theory pay workers less pay workers more
    Go easy on workers outcompeted outcompeted
    Squeeze workers profit outcompeted

    What I find interesting is that reigning in abuse at the behest of bosses / management / leadership would solve a gigantic number of problems in today’s society. ‘Nobody wants to work anymore’ is actually ‘nobody wants to be treated like shit by power-hungry psychopaths’. BUT, it is so difficult / impossible to change the intrinsic human assholification of anyone with power (see Stanford prison experiment), that companies will try anything else.

        This is utterly fascinating. Thank you for providing this link. Funnily enough, my thoughts immediately went to “is Milgram any better?”. Seems like he might be, somewhat. The question for me then becomes:

        • can people be trusted with authority, on a general level? Are there studies to prove / disprove the adage that power corrupts / that people with personality disorders such as psychopathy or narcissism seek out (or thrive in, or are promoted to) positions of power?

        Thank you again, I shall revise my opinion from now on and seek out more studies on the matter.

      I think you’re statistically right.
