Personally I find it depressing. He could have retired years ago to work on a passion project. Why is he still dealing with the soul-sucking internal politics of a mega-corp? Unless he somehow enjoys walking on egg shells all day, it doesn't make sense to me.

Have you considered that maybe this is his passion project?

I think, as you alluded to, this may be more of a personality thing, e.g. an empath might see that sort of thing as a great opportunity.
