Sociopaths and psychopaths are incapable of understanding empathy, or any other emotions that are related to caring and taking responsibility for others concerns or worries.
The way neurons are wired (connected) in their brains, means that they will never experience these emotions, so cannot respond to them in the same way that the vast majority of the human race does.
Throughout their lives, those with higher IQs, learn that they can manipulate others more efficiently if they are seen to demonstrate these emotions.
Over time, they develop skills that imitate and then perfect the act\pretense of exhibiting empathy, care, concern for others etc....
Whence they are promoted to powerful roles within an organisation, they very quickly strengthen their positions through a number of strategies, fear through shrouded threats usually being the most prevalent and preferred method.
The only people that can compete, or even survive, in this type of environment are like minded individuals. Thereby, the organisations duty of care to its employees is quickly polluted, albeit under a veil of pretense.
Donating large sums of money to mental health charities and encouraging staff to use an employees mental health support facility needs to be viewed with caution.
These employee mental health schemes are being promoted by some of the worlds most powerful, and certainly ruthless, business leaders.
All part of the act, one would be forgiven for thinking.
There are always fantastic opportunities available to us, we just don't see them until forced to look. Don't worry about getting laid off from this company. I would certainly advocate volunteering to go. There are many businesses out there that truly value their staff. Beyond Psychopaths indeed.......
