While I am no fan of your average A&R guy or record Co. executive or 
whatever the fact of the matter is that the career of your average A&R 
guy is even shorter than that of your average flash in the pan boy band 
and the A&R guys are under vast amounts of pressure to see the artists 
they pick succeed and to pick the next successful artist.  The same 
thing somewhat for record execs though they do last longer the fact of 
the matter is that they are managing large businesses and just like the 
managers of other business they can and often do fail to perform and 
get shitcanned for it just like the rest of us.

I mean there is this tendency to vilify entire genres of human being 
here that I find ridiculous.

I would love to deal with a record exec that is: honest, kind, 
tasteful, wise, fair and generous.  I am sure that just about all 
artists would.  I mean given the choice who would want to deal with any 
other kind of person.  So a person with those traits (and they *are* 
out there) should be successful, right?

Apparently not always.
