Every person has encountered demeaning jerks in the workplace and had to face their intimidation and attacks. This excellent book is a survival guide to how you can keep your sanity in such an environment. It also illustrates that we may also at times behave like creeps and provides us ways to recognize and avoid such behavior. The book shows examples of successful jerks, but points out how such success could be delusional because there are high costs with such behavior. Finally, the author explains how an institution can create and implement a policy against such destructive people.
