Simple.
The perpetrators are successful and therefore well adjusted, whereas the victims are defective and have to be excluded lest there be "social contagion".
The conclusion is its own justification.
Or, as it's fashionable nowadays, the "just world fallacy".
A tale as old as time.
Edit:
You already have a parent comment here doing exactly that.
Apparently the healthy environment was at an "hedge fund" out of all industries.
- xyzelement 4y agoI assume your hedge fund comment is a reference to my post, so I'll reply. You'll notice that in the HF scenario I described, there was no perpetrators or victims. It was just a group of professionals doing work in a calm and rational, dare I say, sane, way. So yes, I'll stick with that story as the healthiest place I've ever worked. And in the other 3 companies I've worked, I've seen lots of examples of employees making themselves crazy en masse when the "trigger" was obviously something not worthy of that reaction.
