Episode notes

Do not escalate to someone who you know is going to be inept and in actually handling it. Create what experts call a micro culture so if this person is creating a toxic culture can you create a team of people where you actually agree that's not the culture we're going to adhere to? You've got that protective bubble that you can go to when you need a reprieve from the toxicity. I will never advise someone to quit their job if they love their job but I also don't think you should stick it out in a situation that's toxic and is not going to change does that help absolutely thank you very much yeah thank you so we'll get back to you soon.

To cap off our Getting Along series (see the last four episodes in our feed if you missed them), Amy Gallo offers advice, in front of a live audience, on how to deal with “difficult” colleagues. She talks with Amy Bernstein about the different types of difficult coworkers (from the tormentor to the know-it-all) and then answers questions from several members of the audience about the specific situations they’re facing. If you’re navigating a tough work relationship right now and don’t know how to turn things around, this episode is for you.
