Dark Traits in the Workplace: A Hidden Cost

Recent findings from the UBC Sauder School of Business highlight a troubling trend in corporate culture: some managers actually prefer employees who exhibit manipulative and self-serving traits. According to a study published in the Journal of Managerial Psychology, this favoritism is often driven by a desire to further the manager's own career ambitions.

As these ruthless behaviors are recognized and rewarded, it raises questions about the long-term impact on workplace dynamics and the overall health of corporate environments.
