Companies are not natural environments. There is an obvious established hierarchy that is not decided by the group but imposed from the outside. > Does the person target people who are less powerful? I have seen too many times a big-boss talking how good someone is after receiving criticism: "How can X be doing bulling if X is so nice with me, the boss?". I cannot count how much money it costs to companies I have worked for to have unmotivated employees. It is bad for the company, it is bad for shareholders, is bad for employees, it is bad for society... but up in the hierarchy someone feels good about themselves for being assholes and getting away with it.

> I cannot count how much money it costs to companies I have worked for to have unmotivated employees. I am sure it has been quantified by HR studies somewhere. I'd be interested to know.- > It is bad for the company, it is bad for shareholders, is bad for employees, it is bad for society... but up in the hierarchy someone feels good about themselves for being assholes and getting away with it. We need an AI-based "self-serving assholehood detector", at scale, parsing company traffic :)

> Companies are not natural environments. Sure, as in "man made", but - just wanted to say - oodles can certainly be said (and, academically I am sure it has) about "natural" corporate environments (ie. environments arising from man made corporativism ...)
