Because childhood bullies have psychopathic tendencies and lack empathy, a great set of traits that are rewarded in a capitalistic system when they become adults. Capitalism tends to reward the worst of our species with the greatest amount of power and wealth.
Where do you think managers come from?
You mean upper management
Someone rename this guardian article to:
Kids with traumatic childhoods tend to carry that with them forward in life affecting their day to day
or
Bullies enabled by parents and environment to continue bullying shockingly continue this behavior into their careers where “dogs” are more valued than free thinking/diverse individuals.
Biiiiiig shocker but let’s keep ignoring the effects of systemic problems and just Stockholm ourselves into thinking that this is actually just reality
Capitalism is so cool and effective at bringing the best out of society let’s keep it around forever
Frustrating. Makes me want to downvote but it is not the articles fault 😮💨
Hypothetically, if there was an omnipotent way to be sure of who is a bully vs who is being bullied and completely segregated them, would the bullied ones have a better chance? Would the two segregated groups then split into bullies and bullied again?
It depends on what metric you're measuring by. If you want to know who will make the most money it'll probably be the bully group. If you want to know who will be less likely to end the world in nuclear fire it will be the non-bully group.
I don't think so. I was bullied a lot at school by a few people. But at home I had a great group of friends and we got along really well. There were no bullies. And if anyone got out of line they were quickly put in their place.
