Are you sure it was by Asimov?

Very certain, Hardcopy short story collection from a public library, picked up after discovering the Foundation series.

This list of Asimov's short stories may help. Also, see if you can dredge up any details about the title of the anthology, other stories in it, etc.

"Man as the Ultimate Gadget" (Asimov's original title: The Smile of the Chipper) Years ago, at the outset of the 21st century, junior executive Johnson's career depended on choosing between two "chippers"--those men with implanted microchips that gave them power over others' emotions. ASIMOV STORY [A.375] PUBLICATION RECORD: ----- First publication: Business Week's 1988 Guide to Giving (October 21, 1988) Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine (April 1989) Gold (1995)

Memory got corrupted, the chips were not cognitive enhancements but let them manipulate emotions.
