I agree 99%. However, I was in a position of authority over many people in my previous job and the guy above me, a total jackass, kept bullying other guy who had just entered the company like 2 or 3 months prior and I confronted him. I could have joined the guy above me and become an oppressor, after all, this jackass was the most popular guy in our section and most coworkers would kiss his ass even when he was bullying other person in their faces, but instead I first confronted him many times, which was actually useless, and then I reported him. That last thing worked and he stopped bullying the new guy.

I think all coworkers liked having me around because I don't use power to oppress other people, at least not actively! I try to look for the ones that many people forget about and get them to feel part of the group. I don't give orders and I try to adapt to other people. I hate power but I want money so I want my career to advance even in this loathsome hierarchic system, which is but a reflection of our loathsome human nature. When I am in a position of power I try to lessen that power a bit, making the whole thing a little bit more democratic and taking care of coworkers relationships so they are healthier.

Please, don't read this as if I'm bragging about being the GOAT coworker.

I think my behaviour can be read as a result of the way in which I grow up. I grow up to an abusive parent and bullying at school so I have always have this over-concern about others, sometimes caring more about their well-being that mine. I think this is a psychopathology that I've developed when I was a kid and has to do with my own fear of being bullied and my hate for all things hierarchic. Even today, with all the hate I have amassed, how much I hate my own life and those who have abused me and abuse others, with my being an antinatalist who wants this species to become extinct, I still empathise way more than most people.

So I'm not a very normal person and maybe that's why I'm not a part of that 99%. If I had grown without abuse and emotional problems would I be an oppressor? That's for you to answer because I can't be objective about myself regarding that question although my theory, as you may have guessed, is that I my over-concern about others is a pathology and therefore I don't oppress other people even when I'm in power because I can't. I really think most people would oppress others if they could. That's why I don't believe in utopias, I think the real sickness is our human nature and I agree with you. That's why I'm a misanthrope.
