"It's a familiar situation. So familiar, in fact, that anyone who has worked for a while has faced it. You work with -- or worse, for -- a jerk. Whether that jerk is the passive-aggressive type who rolls his eyes or grumbles so you can hear but never addresses issues directly, or a yeller who humiliates people in meetings or sends nasty group emails doesn't really matter. A jerk is a jerk is a jerk at work, and though they come in many flavors, the solution is the same. As in most situations, you have to start with yourself if you hope to improve a negative situation -- or impact it in any significant way."

Furthermore we now know that downsizing rarely returns the benefits expected of it: a downsized firm is often worse placed, not better, to compete."

"According to Terry Bates, managing director of GHN Coaching, most people have problems with their superiors. It goes with the territory. Banking bosses may, however, be more problematic than most.
