☠️Are Corporations Gaslighting Psychopaths?☠️

FMP, the answer to this question is a resounding YES! I worked for many organizations over my 20 year career and it became obvious to me that most of them are seriously deranged.

☠️The behaviors that employees are considering as normal are actually not only abnormal but also harmful to their health - physical and mental ☠️

☢️ Office Politics = Bullying + Manipulation + Emotional Abuse ☢️

Research has shown that individuals with narcissistic and psychopathic traits have above-average success when it comes to climbing the corporate ladder.

The culture of organizations had been shaped by the exact same people who thrive in it.

In addition, the anonymity that an organization provides allows for bad actors to grow in the fullness of themselves and behave in ways that would be at best frown upon in another setting. 

Egocentrism✔️

Lack of empathy ✔️

Disregard for the rules ✔️

Lack of accountability ✔️

Manipulative ✔️

Controlling ✔️

🤔The rest of us have only a few choices: adopt the same behaviors, endure the abuse, or leave🤔
