The definitive guide to working with - and surviving - bullies, creeps, jerks, tyrants, tormentors, despots, backstabbers, egomaniacs, and all the other assholes who do their best to destroy you at work.
"What an asshole!" How many times have you said that about someone at work? You're not alone! In this groundbreaking book, Stanford University professor Robert I. Sutton builds on his acclaimed Harvard Business Review article to show you the best ways to deal with assholes...and why they can be so destructive to your company.
Practical, compassionate, and in places downright funny, this guide offers:
- Strategies on how to pinpoint and eliminate negative influences for good Illuminating case histories from major organizations
- A self-diagnostic test and a program to identify and keep your own "inner jerk" from coming out
The No Asshole Rule is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Business Week best seller.

I wish it had been read by a professional

I also don't like meeting assholery with assholery. The story where the subordinate employee makes brownies with chocolate flavored Ex-Lax because her boss kept eating her food, while entertaining, is not really how I want employees handling things at work. There is no mention of using others, like other leaders or the HR rep, for help. That is typically a good starting place, as they can often help with coping mechanisms or better yet, have influence to discipline or fire the abuser. The coping solutions for people who can't walk away were pretty limited, and the case for firing assholes were pretty basic. I was just hoping for more.
Not as much useful information as hoped for

There is no such word as ecscape or ecspecially. As least you didn't have any reference to nukular. Otherwise it's amazing book but it's nail grinding to listen to this butchery of the language. The audio engineers should have caught this. Besides the reading no complaints at all.
Good book but annoying reading.
