The bottom line to stop thinking about yourself and start thinking about your boss. You have to perspective taken. We don't love taking the perspectives of the people in charge of us, because we feel like should we have to? They have all these wonderful things already coming to them. But if they don't have ou no social capital,. Their moss sort of hates them or puts them on an island, or doesn't listen to them...you know, all these things are actually going to affect your ability to get that raised. And so you better figure out how you're going to sell yourself to that boss to get that raise.

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.
