#59: Robert SuttonHow To Deal With People Who Treat You Like Dirt
b'
Many of our favorite movies and TV shows portray jerks at work. From droning Lumbergh in Office Space, clueless Michael in The Office, to sleazy Mr. Hart in 9 to 5, we find these characters so funny because they\\u2019re true.
It isn\\u2019t funny, however, actually working with these jerks. According to a recent study, 75% of workers deal with bullies in the workplace. This has a huge effect on the economy, your workplace, and your health.
So, what can you do?
Robert Sutton sets out to answer that question in his new book, The A--hole Survival Guide (his book just says the word). His strategies will provide relief to anyone who feels pushed around by a jerk. You can avoid them, outwit them, disarm them, send them packing, and develop protective psychological armor. Finally, at the end of this post, you can see if you might be adding to the jerk population.
Nobody wants to lose life hours to a bully. Listen to this episode of the Building a StoryBrand podcast. You\\u2019ll preserve your sanity and have a plan of action to deal with that jerk at the office.
