In this episode of Workplace Entanglement, we pull back the curtain on a high-stakes Italian firm where leadership wasn’t about productivity—it was about psychological warfare. Our narrator, a high-level executive assistant turned protégé, recounts her years serving Alessandro, a CEO who didn't just manage crisis, he manufactured it. This is a chilling look at "friction-based innovation," a toxic management style designed to keep employees in a state of constant trauma-bonding and hyper-vigilance. If you’ve ever felt like your boss was gaslighting the entire office just to remain the only person with the "solution," this story of ambition, betrayal, and the addictive nature of corporate chaos will resonate with the darkest parts of your career history.

Explore the thin line between charismatic leadership and professional sociopathy as we detail the rise and fall of a man who flirted with disaster like it was foreplay. From late-night paranoid phone calls to orchestrated office rivalries, discover how a workplace can transform into a psychological pressure cooker that breaks even the strongest professionals. This isn't a business lesson; it’s a cautionary tale about what happens when you survive the monster only to realize you’ve become one yourself.
