“It takes no courage for a sociopath to fire or hurt anyone.”
Right. But it’s worse than that; they enjoy it. I was an Admin. Assistant for one — a female V.P. of Human Resources for a hospital. We were going through a medium RIF and she was calling those being “let go” into her office, one by one.
One pitiful guy who had worked in the hospital laundry for about 30 years was next on her list. She gave him the bad news and he left, obviously in emotional pain. I needed to give her a message so walked in right away, only to see her rubbing her palms together and mumbling, “I love this job!” When she realized I’d seen/heard her, she was embarrassed — but not very.
So it seems that sociopaths seem to have a touch of sadism in them as well. As one talking head on Fox said, Carly and Hillary are the same in that they’re both “cold and inhuman”.
They secretly aspire to be the concentration camp guard
