>>75193827A combination of lonely people that went in to well-paying jobs, then developed some charisma / confidence over fucking over people in the work place to get to the top.
A lot of the time I've interacted with some of them, they seem to be the kind of people like that, IT types, and usually people that fucked over colleagues to get ahead. They tend to be dicks on social media, short-tempers, always posting silly shit, usually over-compensating in fact. If someone or something gets on their nerves or calls them out, they tend to have full-on over-compensating breakdowns and post more inane random shit rather than shut-up. It's very easy to spot them when that happens.
There's a reason IT and upper management in general is filled with psychopaths, they lack empathy so it's easy for them to see other people they work with as "mere stepping stones".
But they are also usually intelligent so all of that coupled together makes it easy for these types to take advantage of emotionally fragile people.
It's fucking sick. I've had to help a few people deal with sickos like that in the past. (both guys and girls at that, it's not just a female being groomed issue)
