Just like star wars, ignore the Olivia ignore the Joyce, just remember ,.... "Stay on Target!" We can outlive them because they are under pressure from the shareholders, just be patient grasshopper and watch them fall off their branch!
The staff always outlive the upper management. They only have an opeartional life of about 5-8 years. They milk what they can out of a company and move on. That's how it's done these days. There is no longevity or loyalty from the top to the company. The loyalty goes only as far as the dollar and not a cent further. These same people demand loyalty from the staff to maintain their bonuses.

The last couple of batches of management believe in engaging their staff. They engage them in constant conflict and dispute, hoping to wear them down and hopefully instill fear into them by implying their jobs are less secure.

No matter how much we whinge about OW & AJ, it makes no difference. They will always read from their cue cards and not deviate. This is a quote from JFK "The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie - deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth - persistent, persuasive and unrealistic."

If the powers that be get into the media first and constantly repeat their blurbs long enough, someone will eventually believe them. They even believe it themselves.

Or, they could simply just be psychopaths:

"The psychopath is one of the most fascinating and distressing problems of human experience. For the most part, a psychopath never remains attached to anyone or anything. They live a "predatory" lifestyle. They feel little or no regret, and little or no remorse - except when they are caught. They need relationships, but see people as obstacles to overcome and be eliminated. If not, they see people in terms of how they can be used. They use people for stimulation, to build their self-esteem and they invariably value people in terms of their material value (money, property, etc..).

A psychopath can have high verbal intelligence, but they typically lack "emotional intelligence". They can be expert in manipulating others by playing to their emotions. There is a shallow quality to the emotional aspect of their stories (i.e., how they felt, why they felt that way, or how others may have felt and why). The lack of emotional intelligence is the first good sign you may be dealing with a psychopath."

The above was taken from Psychopathic Personality
