Not too surprised, but I think this is just one data point based on the situations and environment you're in. I can definitely think of places where coming across as too empathetic makes one appear weak, and coming across as an asshole who has a plan and is going to make it happen (regardless of trivialities like feelings) makes one appear like a leader. On the other hand, I tend to avoid them wherever possible, as I find this setup toxic to my own strengths and empathy.
