Hoses of the Holy in the Parallel Universe

Unfortunately

This sounds all too familiar to me:
"She says there are broadly two types of bully. First there is what Dr Aitkenhead calls: 'The kind of individual who likes to be in control. They tend to be well aware of the effects of their behaviour. They use this to manipulate people.'

These powermongers generally have to be dealt with at a structural level, using organisational procedures to put boundaries on their behaviour and curb the aggression that wasn't properly managed in childhood. In extreme cases this kind of bullying tips into actual psychopathy. 'There is a small group of psychopaths in management who simply shouldn't be there,' says Professor Cooper. 'They are untrainable.'"
