From open floor plans and Zoom calls to Slack channels, the workplace has changed a lot over the years. But there’s one thing that never changes: you’ll always encounter jerks and toxic coworkers. Our guest today is Tessa West, a social psychologist and the author of Jerks At Work. Tessa is a leading expert on interpersonal interactions including interactions between toxic coworkers and bosses. We discuss the different types of jerks, the behavior that drives them, and how you can get them off your back once and for all.
