> The job of the CEO is to keep the firm going, not to make employees happy.

Sociopathic CEOs actually believe this. Maintaining employee morale is crucial to the long term health of a company. Ignore it and you suffer a slow death from brain drain and disaffected employees. "They pretend to care about us, I pretend to care about my job."

Sociopathic CEOs are also very persuasive with these arguments, making most employees believe it is a necessary sacrifice. And, as is evident, these CEOs put themselves in a trolley dilemmas all the time, instead of being honest and transparent (too proud narcissists) avoiding those all together.
