>Trying to decide if someone with one of these conditions is actually responsible for their own actions is as much of a philosophical problem as a moral one. But it's absolutely clear that people with Dark Triad issues are almost invariably poisonous in organisations and will create extremely unpleasant and toxic experiences in a work environment. I love this explanation so much, thank you. People tend to want to forgive their fellow human being when they realize their odd behavior is connected to just them being a little awkward and anxious or nervous, and that's great all of the time; everyone is constantly experiences both sides of this. But when you're HR and you see abuse at your organization, you gotta realize there's a difference between having empathy and straight up rescue fantasies. Sociopaths are rare so you're rarely going to deal with them but they're easy to spot and fire when they cause workplace trouble. But people with narcissistic tendencies can and do hide behind HR's rescue fantasies to be enabled to play out their fucked up world view on their workers, and that's why we have so many psychology studies out here telling us to, yeah, just fire workplace abusers when it happens.
