At a certain level, I'm convinced that sociopathy is a strong factor in the executive world. They don't view the workers as fellow humans, but as a cost center to be minimized. Or rubes to take advantage of. They suppress what little compassion they have and are often rewarded by owners and boards of directors for hitting the financial numbers. Not all are like this, but it sure seems like a trend. For every Dan Price, there are a thousand Jack Welch clones.
