It sounds like you're dealing with narcissists, one of the most toxic kinds of people possible. You run into them eventually and they're good at influencing people and masking themselves.

(My hypothesis is that large companies turn to crap largely because they eventually end up recruiting toxic but charismatic people, not really because of their size.)
- jokethrowaway 6y agoNarcissism is the mental illness of this century! It's very common in varying degrees. That said, I agree with you that large companies are worse because there's a higher chance of a manipulative person being hired and acquiring company. I also think that the more money to be made, the higher the likelihood such people will show up. That's also why governments don't work, they're just the largest companies we have in society + monopoly on legal violence.
