'corporate psychopaths' display similar ruthless traits to sadistic killers, they often gravitate towards roles in business the media, law and politics where their scheming and bullying is just part of everyday working life.

They tend to be manipulative, arrogant, callous, impatient, impulsive, unreliable, superficially charming and prone to fly into rages. They break promises, take credit for the work of others and blame everyone else when things go wrong.

Sounds like somebody you know?

“Psychopaths are social predators and like all predators they are looking for feeding grounds,” Professor Hare said.

“Wherever you get power, prestige and money you will find them. The most important thing is to be aware, if you suspect you are working with a psychopath. Once you take that position you are in a better position to deal with them.”

AOL's landing in Poland was 'semi-successful' [ the British standards of politeness ]. You can see it here.

It's been wildely discussed among Polish online pros and users as well.

Pls find below some points by Tomasz Kępski:

1) big American corporations may think that the Polish are barbarians and buy any glitzy beads they have for us
2) somebody underestimates Poles
3) we know that 'beta' stands for ' we tried to finish the work for time but we didn't manage but our top management already announced the launch so we are showing something that should have never been shown and beta should repent all our sins'
4) it was quite similar when eBay landed in Poland and their current position is still mediocre [ I would add: at least after 2 attempts to gain a beachhead ]

I could not agree more with Tomek. I'll save some of my bitterish comments [ re. infamous F-16s or George W Bush ] ...
