Political leaders are charismatic, celebrities bask in the spotlight, and authority figures are assertive. It is no surprise that a quiet revolution has begun to emerge among the invisible half of the population, asserting that they are just as powerful in their own unique ways.

In the early 1980s, Harley-Davidson was on the verge of bankruptcy. In the general public's opinion, quality was substandard - of both motorcycles and riders. Harleys leaked oil and were often broken down. Riders were roughnecks, out to raise hell. The Harley-Davidson brand was tarnished. What s more, the charges were true.By the mid-1980s, Harley couldn't produce enough bikes to keep the public happy. Dealers were selling bikes off the showroom floor, struggling to assuage customers frustration.
Publisher's Summary
Wouldn't it be nice if work stopped being something you dread and instead something you enjoy? If you're stressed and unhappy because of problems with a boss or colleague, you pay a price. Not only can your mental and physical health suffer, your nearest and dearest get sick of hearing about it. Going to bed angry and waking up dreading the next workday is a terrible way to live. Remote work might lessen the impact of annoying colleagues for a while, but they still find ways to irritate.
Not all jerks are the same. The person you find to be a nightmare may be perfectly acceptable to others. And astonishingly, someone else may even think you're the jerk! Author Louise Carnachan has the credentials and experience to make her an expert in this area, but more importantly, she's been in the trenches herself and knows what it's like to suffer through work days because of problematic relationships. This handy reference can be consulted any time baffling interpersonal situations arise.
With an emphasis on positive action you can take in your specific situation, Work Jerks provides practical advice on how to deal with nine jerketypes and their sub-types. Whether you work with them in-person or remotely, there are probably things you haven't yet tried.
