Dealing with Difficult People at Work
Every workplace is home to an insufferable worker or two, be they office
gossips, narcissists or lazybones. Such individuals can turn the office into a
toxic environment. However, sometimes your most problematic co-workers are
harboring deeper difficulties. Learn to identify and get to the root cause of
those problems before bad feelings begin to fester within your team.
