Charlie is a what is called a Corporate Psychopath. He feels no empathy or remorse for destroying people’s lives to benefit his own, whether it be his employees or his customers. He is able to justify everything he does because in his book -
we are all somehow subhuman, of no more significance than the Kleenex he tosses in the trash every day. Charlie is no different than a Bernie Madoff or a Ken Lay: cold hearted, inhumane, power hungry. (Someone should take note that both men took their companies down. ) For some reason, he thinks he’s better and deserves more than you and I. He isn’t and he doesn’t.
I don’t get it, and I’m glad I don’t.
