4. What astute examples

This line of thought must have been extrapolated from the idea of the 'suicide contagion'. Especially in high school kids make pacts and sometimes carry it out. Other kids may mimic the behavior because of all the attention. This must have ended up, to including the work place as a theory?

Work environments can be some of the most toxic, abusive, authoritarian, nightmare, scenarios to negotiate without throwing the mentally ill under the bus. It can really take one mean jerk to ruin everyone's existence.
The helpless feeling of having no power in your life to effectively change your environment can leave your whole work force depressed. Seems like the people who become managers have a power need to work out.
