Re:Why Work Marriages Make Sense by the_af on Friday June 27, 2014 @04:35PM (#7956177)
Wow, that's a much better article. The following quote in particular rings true (and is the opposite of the claim from the "marriage" article):

"The Clueless are the ones who lack the competence to circulate freely through the economy (unlike Sociopaths and Losers), and build up a perverse sense of loyalty to the firm, even when events make it abundantly clear that the firm is not loyal to them. To sustain themselves, they must be capable of fashioning elaborate delusions based on idealized notions of the firm — the perfectly pathological entities we mentioned. Unless squeezed out by forces they cannot resist, they hang on as long as possible, long after both Sociopaths and Losers have left"

I've seen former coworkers build these delusions, even when the ship was sinking and what was left of management was clearly mistreating them.
