Have you ever seen a senior/partner needlessly humiliate or abuse someone?

Post by bodylikeatwizzler » Thu May 27, 2021 6:53 am

Yesterday, I was working on a prostitution-related project that led to this story about an old NY prosecutor name Eliot Spitzer. https://abovethelaw.com/2008/03/he-like ... ont-shine/

Apparently, he would hire prostitutes and demand that they eat his ass. I'm a guy and know there's no possible physical pleasure from that, and I imagine it costs extra, so I was wondering why he would ask for that. I could only conclude that he did to achieve that twisted emotion psychopaths achieve when the humiliate, abuse and degrade someone.

Then I realized that I've seen lawyers do this to subordinates, and not infrequently. Not the eating ass thing, but they humiliate, degrade and verbally abuse subordinates in ways that only make sense if they're doing it to achieve that emotion Eliot Spitzer sought. They love to see a subordinate get emotionally devastated and hurt.

Am I the only one who has seen this? Am I being too sensitive? Or have you all seen it too?

Well, that return was short-lived. Bodylikeatwizzler will be missed by... someone, I'm sure.
