#4I know NOTHING about Dickinson other than this article and the linked articles, but something that really bothers me about tech is how people like him are able to even become CTO/CEO/CXO at all, let alone continue to get jobs at that level!
I've worked with my share of C level folk who are borderline sociopathic and have the wonderful combination of NOT being successful at that level either. It astounds me that people can basically continue to con their way around companies at the upper levels.

They'll also put up with:
- long hours
- far less than optimal physical workspaces
- being left in the dark about what's going on in the company from a business perspective
- all kinds of other crap
In far too many workplaces, it's still high school. Management is sometimes just a great way not to have to be accountable.
Pre-empt: Obviously there are great managers. I'm not talking about them.
