Every workplace has one: the colleague whose habits grate, whose motives seem murky, whose presence turns an ordinary Tuesday tense. This is a clear-eyed look at why certain people are so hard to work alongside, and what to do about it. Learn to spot the patterns behind common difficult behaviors, protect your own composure without becoming cold, and choose responses that keep your work steady. Grounded, direct, and genuinely useful.
