Synopsis

Wouldn't it be nice if work stopped being something you dread and started being something you enjoy? If you're stressed and unhappy because of problems with a boss or colleague, you pay a price. Not only can your mental and physical health suffer, your nearest and dearest get sick of hearing about it. Going to bed angry and waking up dreading the next workday is a terrible way to live. Remote work might lessen the impact of annoying colleagues for a while, but they still find ways to irritate. Not all jerks are the same; the person you find to be a nightmare may be perfectly acceptable to others. And, astonishingly, someone else may even think you're the jerk! Author Louise Carnachan has the credentials and experience to make her an expert in this area, but more importantly, she's been in the trenches herself and knows what it's like to suffer through work days because of problematic relationships. This handy reference can be consulted any time baffling interpersonal situations arise. With an emphasis on positive action you can take in your specific situation, Work Jerks provides practical advice on how to deal with nine Jerketypes and their sub-types. Whether you work with them in-person or remotely, there are probably things you haven't yet tried.

The ways to handle difficult employees is panoply, and this sometimes read like it was the only way of doing things. Just because it was boomer material doesn't make it wron......more

Goodreads review by Devons book corner on February 15, 2023

I went in thinking this was going to really hit the spot. Unfortunately it fell flat for me. While the author covered a variety of different coworkers, there were some that were missed in my opinion. The ways to cope with different bosses was helpful, but I thought of many different scenarios myself......more

Goodreads review by Donna on February 20, 2023

Clever and convincing! I agreed to review this copy because I'm currently dealing with a colleague making my life miserable. I not only found lots of practical advice, but also realized that I fall into a few "work jerk" categories myself and will consciously try to do better with the help of this b......more
