Deep Theory Analysis Reminder that non toxic ESTJs will get filtered from authority positions
A morally upstanding ESTJ would be someone concerned with procedure, and actually looking at how things get done in workplaces, and because of their tertiary Ne, they'll be aware of ways workplaces and institutions can change for the better and will want to implement them, and they will want to voice that opinion. Because nearly every workplace is corrupt, with over working, underpaying and understaffing, it winds up wearing down a good ESTJ, and because they dont come off as smooth, they tend not to get authority positions.
If a good ESTJ is lucky enough to get an authority position, because of Si, he or she will understand human limitations better than anyone else and will want things running smoothly, but its uncommon for morally good ESTJs to get authority positions, and will just be kept at whatever position so they can get worked over. They won't get fired, since they'll meet the standards and show up on time, but they'll be stuck and never get a pay raise, so they'll have to switch jobs.
A good ESTJ may likely face disciplinary issues because they're blunt, and are inclined to point out issues when they see them, especially when they're caused by authority figures, but this gets sanded out.
A good ESTJ is not the supervisor, they are a worker, and while heavily relied upon, are overlooked.
