Snakes in Suits

" alt="Snakes in Suits">

Most companies are headed-up by ruthless psychopaths...yep.

The character traits most likely to get you labeled as 'psychopath' are also most likely to bring you promotions in the corporate sector.

CEOs disregard the individual in a manner that would get them punched in the face if they pulled similar stunts in the real world. Yep...

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.

My question is, how and why do snakes have to be associated with characteristics like pycho, ruthless, or evil? It's kind of a bum rap IMHO.

Because it goes back to the bible thumping that the snake is the devil that tempted Eve. Hell to this day my grandmother will NOT come to my place because she say "I have the ole Devil in my house"

Poor granny, she can't help it she grew up in the age of complete and total brainwashing, same as my grandparents, (God rest their souls).
Yeah, I have some family that won't come right out and say it but I think they feel the same way about my snakes. Oh well, can't please em' all. I might be going to hell (hopefully not), but I'm pretty certain it's not for keeping snakes, that doesn't even register on the totem pole of my repentances, before I got married and my wife straightened me out... a bit.

Snakes are worshipped/respected/idolized in mannnny parts of the world.

My girlfriend is Hindu.
To say she doesn't mind my snakes would be a massive understatement.

No, I don't have plans to own an Indian Cobra.

I'm thinking about writing a book called "When Psychopaths get a Ph.D and go to work and write books and grants and make really bad decisions that effect other people but not themselves". It will all be based on true first hand experiences, and no it's not an autobiography.
