There are people in this world, and a dismaying number at that, who are only in it for themselves. They have no concern or regard for other people if it doesn't give them some advantage.

It's a shame then that so many of these people go on to start companies or otherwise end up in positions of power. Perhaps that same unfeeling ruthlessness ultimately is what enables their success in such a brutal, dog-eat-dog world.

This is evidenced by the well-known statistic that, while those with psychopathic traits make up 1% of the population, roughly 4-12% of CEOs display these same traits.

If this is your 10th time reading that, here it's because this is one of my favorite statistics of all time. In fact, it makes up for 64% of my statistical references.

Anyways, the point is, this employer is one of those people who are entirely in it for themselves. While they didn't give a lick about this employee when they were there, they didn't hesitate to reach out and get something from them when they needed something… Even if it was ten years later.
