When Every Day Feels Like a Battlefield
Have you ever had a colleague whose mere presence made your stomach knot with anxiety? Or a boss whose toxic behavior left you dreading Monday mornings? You're not alone. Workplace jerks aren't just annoying-they're dangerous to your health, career, and wellbeing. In "The Asshole Survival Guide," Stanford professor Robert Sutton draws from over 8,000 personal stories to offer practical strategies for surviving toxic people. The evidence is alarming: when Israeli doctors were insulted during procedures, their diagnostic accuracy plummeted by 50%. Surgeons make significantly more mistakes after experiencing rudeness. The financial toll is staggering-$23.8 billion annually in the US alone-while the health impacts include anxiety, depression, and even increased risks of heart disease. Most troubling is how contagious this behavior becomes; a single toxic team member can reduce group performance by 30-40%, creating a downward spiral that poisons entire organizations. This isn't just about comfort-it's about survival.
