[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 228579, member: 1991"] A successful sociopath can do well in the workplace, usually at the expense of co-workers. I had one as a work colleague. A nasty piece of work, a saboteur. He repeatedly shot down my promotion prospects for a number of years, because he had "buttered up" the various senior bosses; but when he showed his true colours, he was gone, messily. There was also a period where he was away for a year's leave without pay (got a temporary transfer overseas) and in that time, I was in charge and had the place running so much better, the bosses sat up and took notice. When he came back (early, throwing in the towel in Europe) he found himself discredited. Plus, his own actions had led to his personal life imploding, publicly. I was lucky - I'd outlasted him. For future reference, if you ever find yourself working alongside a sociopath, leave. Find another job, fast, and get out. Thanks for this info. Marg [/QUOTE]
