In this self-help guide for the workplace, authors Katherine Crowley and Kathi Elster identify a full taxonomy of crazy coworker behaviors that can make our cubicular lives more than stressful day in and day out, But, fortunately, they go on to explain that help is really not far away: the remedy lies with us. Whether the problem is the noisy, the stinky, the credit stealer, the gossip, or worst of all, the passive-aggressive, it is up to us to acknowledge that we are trapped into toxic habits, to try to change our own thinking, and to take constructive actions--primarily because the others will not do so. The key, say the authors, is to learn how to "unhook," and they provide plenty of help and support for doing so, with practical tips, checklists, and anecdotes from people in a variety of jobs that confirm that we truly do live in a Dilbertian universe. The authors cover all the bases, addressing issues with coworkers, bosses, and those who report to us, and show that we can deal successfully with others
