Episode notes

Many of us sit out problems m and we don't typically think of people who do nothing about problems as jerks. When you do this over and over again, you're kind of contributing to the problem. Here what your answers reveal about you. If you're a or c, you are a jerk. If you chose b, you're little finger. And if you're d, you are the ideal co worker.

In this live taping of the podcast at Caveat in NYC, Dr. Tessa West, the author of Jerks at Work, conducts quizzes to see what kind of jerk you are and what kind of jerk most-easily persuades you in the workplace. You will also learn how to counteract the behaviors of people who make work suck more than it should.

West is a leading expert on interpersonal interaction and communication and will explain how to make work suck less as we return to our offices and figure out how to balance working remotely with working in-person after a year of re-imagining what work even means. West’s new book is an exploration of all the psychological research into how and why gaslighters, bulldozers, neglectors, micromanagers and more do their thing in our workplaces and how to use what we know from decades of psychological research to counteract their Machiavellian machinations.
