Being an asshole while in charge and then back to nice, empathic person once he doesn't have any power over other people any more


it's funney yeah. lack of empathy is correlated in psych studies with increase in power over others. people with less power need to be more empahtetic / in tune with other's feelings in order to get their needs met. makes sense. can realted from my childhood! :) haha


Sounds like a very bad manager.
