Is that an American way to spell the prefix "cess-"?

Sure
someone did comment of that. Here is what he said
Cut to a
pleasantly warm evening in Bahrain. My companion, a senior UK investment banker
and I, are discussing the most successful banking types we know and what makes
them tick. I argue that they often conform to the characteristics displayed by
social psychopaths. To my surprise, my friend agrees.
He then makes an
astonishing confession: "At one major investment bank for which I worked, we
used psychometric testing to recruit social psychopaths because their
characteristics exactly suited them to senior corporate finance roles."
Here
was one of the biggest investment banks in the world seeking psychopaths as
recruits.
Mr Ronson spoke to scores of psychologists about their
understanding of the damage that psychopaths could do to society. None of those
psychologists could have imagined, I'm sure, the existence of a bank that used
the science of spotting them as a recruiting mechanism.
The
article contains no mention of the identity of this bank. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

<snarky>But don't forget those bonuses because we needed their
talent.</snarky>
With talent like this, maybe we could skip it? I remember reading ages ago
about a company CEO getting hundred of millions in compensation, in a company
that was failing. I was thinking "I could drive the company into the
ground for 1/10th that!"
