No idea, I've never known anyone who was VP or CEO. My guess is by the time you reach that position you've already surrounded yourself with like minded soulless monsters, those childhood friends have been purged long ago. Perhaps a family member or two might say something at a holiday dinner, but most people probably say fuck it and keep the peace or stop going to family events where this guy's monstrous stink sours the mood.

Your guess seems to be confirmed by a peer reviewed paper in Sociology, *The Iron Cage Revisited: Institutional Isomorphism and Collective Rationality in Organizational Fields* by Paul J. DiMaggio and Walter W. Powell: > the engine of rationalization and bureaucratization has moved from the competitive marketplace to the state and the professions. Once a set of organizations emerges as a field, a paradox arises: rational actors make their organizations increasingly similar as they try to change them. We describe three isomorphic processes--coercive, mimetic, and normative--leading to this outcome. https://www.jstor.org/stable/2095101
