How do you know they were decent people? Were they actually tested, or was running a corporation their first test? It’s easy to be “decent” when there’s nothing really at stake.
Good point. What I mean is that I knew them first as employees, and I heard them speak about their employers and how employers should behave, and inferred from that some values of theirs. When they became employers in turn and I saw these values tested, they failed these tests miserably.
