Enter here your experiences of psychopaths with a business bent.
Does seem funny how elite corporate culture is actually elite psychopathic culture.

I came across one, once. He was the head of a company that sued my client because he thought he was too clever for them. Silly bugger could have walked away a millionaire at one point but got greedy and didn’t know when to quit (or possibly was badly advised) so he ended up spectacularly bankrupt and losing his company, his house and his wife.

Most large commercial law firms, at least in the UK, are staffed by a very high proportion of psychopaths.

Traits of a psychopath:
1 - moaning on rugby rebels
1a - getting pissed and moaning on rugby rebels.

The partners at my neighbors law firm. They make 600 - 700 k a year, and forced all the staff to take 2 unpaid days off at Christmas.

I know a senior law firm partner who genuinely believes that non Christians should not be allowed any time off at Christmas and should not be able to take advantage of the Boxing Day sales.

I’d argue that you must be a psychopath yourself to want to go shopping on Boxing Day.

I think being able to take the Xmas day and Boxing Day Bank holidays as floating annual leave is a good idea; though, I suspect the lawyer who is suggesting removing it for non-Christians, ie the vast majority of the country, would just want to chop off two days from everyone’s annual entitlement.

That is a matter of opinion, in my opinion.

That will cost you another £1500 + VAT.

Holy shit,...I only log in once a month. FFS.
I'm delighted we all despise them.,...it's a serious problem. They are all very psychologically damaged idiots.

It's impossible that we can confront the most serious problems the world currently suffers. If the Psychos are in charge there is nothing we can do.

Are those fees recurring or a one off?
