You appear to be falling into some logical fallacy here.

What logical fallacy would that be?

jschwartzi said "If you're not capable of empathy I do not want you as my manager" and gt_ responded as though jschwartzi had said "If you're capable of empathy I want you as my manager". It's the fallacy called "Denying the antecedent".
