There are a lot of sick control freaks in business. I'm finding that many of them are so insecure...
When I meet people like this nowadays, I wonder what's driving them to have such issues with control, (lack of) trust (in co-workers & colleagues), maybe anger, etc.
Something about those traits rings a bell somewhere in my memory. I know I read something about them somewhere, but I can't quite place it.
Seriously, as I mentioned in a music thread one time that I see SA in all kinds of lyrics now, I often wonder about the statistics (1 in 7 boys, 1 in 4 girls) that I've seen about the prevalance of CSA, and who among my co-workers is in the same boat that I rode here.
That's no excuse for the behavior, just as I can't excuse bad behavior on my part. But it does get me wondering about what makes these people tick. There are other potentially damaging/hurtful experiences in some people's lives, too.
Gosh, don't I sound like such a nice guy?

Actually, people like that drive me up the wall, but I have something to think about as I look for toe-holds on the climb.
Later,
Joe
