I have a New York Times piece today on How Bad Apples Infect the Tree,which portrays a vile workplace that the star of the story, "Ruth," coped with successfully -- and then escaped. This Peoccupations column also contains insights from research about the forces that create nasty workplaces and tips for coping with them. The graphic conveys the way it feels to be in a workplace where assholes are everywhere.
Here are some key posts and links related to challenge of dealing with vile bosses and workplaces:
1. Check out my tips for dealing with asshole infected workplaces
2. If you want to help determine if you are a certified asshole or not (or someone you work with is or is not), take the ARSE, a 24-item self-exam. About 250,000 people have completed it.
4. Here is my honor roll of places that have no asshole rules.
5. If you want to determine if you work for a great boss, or a "brasshole," complete the BRASS (Boss Reality Assessment System).
6. Here are two videos of me talking about The No Asshole Rule, the first is a 50Lessons interview and the other is a CNBC Story called The Jerk at Work.
7. Here are two videos about my new book Good Boss, Bad Boss. The first is a CNN appearance and the other is a speech I gave that summer at an AlwaysOn conference at Stanford.
