The problem with PE is only the hyper aggressive and generally terrible ones make the news.

The quiet ones that simply run business well, don't make the news.

There are PE firms that specialize in rescuing distressed companies with potential and turning them around. In many cases not firing anyone and holding onto the form they acquired for a long time.
