Dealing With Obnoxious Coworkers

Real Simple magazine has tips on handling these familiar characters:
  • The Clueless Overling
  • The Ball-Dropper
  • The Belittling Boss
  • The Spotlight-Stealer
  • The Best-Friend Wannabe
  • The Rumormonger
  • The Crusading Newbie
  • The Approval Pest
  • The Chronic Complainer
Sample advice: For the Belittling Boss, “Ask, in private, where the doubt is coming from,” and explain that the constant unconstructive criticism is having a deleterious effect on your output. (Real Simple.)
