But some are naturals in it. People with status/high positions often unlearn it. So i guess it's rather the reverse.
Btw: 2/3 of people in similiar positions like Satya have no empathy but are good in faking it.
Well, they're paid to ignore it and press on with business.
Easier to pay one who just doesn't have it. A shareholders dream.
This year, Microsoft announced they wanted to cut 10,000 jobs. They are in the middle of linked in layoffs right now.
Its pretty telling how difficult it was for him to develop empathy for his son's health struggles instead of bemoaning his lost plans. I wonder how difficult he'd find learning the concept of personal accountability
