Tell me more about the bully/sociopath Officers and Captains you have experienced.

That’s not going to happen.

But this thread is a good place for you to gather info for your kumbaya project.

What kind of leaders does the Maritime industry create and promote?

This is from the economic / political blog Eschaton and is about doctors but doesn’t it apply to Maritime as well? They aren’t all like this of course, but an education (often, not always!) lacking in breadth, the arrogance of overachievers, a hierarchical profession that puts them (certain specialities, at least) in the stratosphere, and a lack of people ever telling them to just shut the fuck up, means a lot of them are, whatever their training, just arrogant dumb assholes.
