Do you work with the world’s worst? You need business guru Robert Sutton’s survival guide.

How To Avoid Assholes

Management expert Robert Sutton had a global best-seller in 2007 with The No Asshole Rule, a guide to identifying and eliminating the troublesome elements in every workplace to create harmonious and productive work environments. But in the following decade, he heard so many stories about difficult and bullying colleagues that he came to realise you can never truly banish office bellends for good. This led him to create The Asshole Survival Guide, suggesting strategies for coping with the inevitable pricks workers everywhere are forced to deal with every day. Here are his tips for spotting and steering clear of dickheads so you can maintain-inner calm and get on with your goddamn day.
