Work is work. You have

to be an asshole to get

things accomplished.

Handling Mutual Hate

The idea of being an asshole to someone you don’t like seems simple in theory, but in actuality, it’s harder to be an asshole to a coworker you don’t like than one you do.

Here’s why: If you act like an asshole with a coworker who knows you’re an asshole and can roll with the punches, they are more likely to accept how you go about doing business. If you’re an asshole to a coworker that already wishes you’d jam your hand into a bucket of rusty nails, then getting through to him on a business level will be near impossible.

The simple solution: Treat the people you hate (somewhat) better than the people you like. Even if you despise that guy in sales who sports more hair gel than Ryan Seacrest, you can’t make it known throughout the ranks. Again, picking on him from a place of power simply because you don’t like him is wrong. It will reduce morale as you come off looking petty, even if he comes off looking douche-y. You don’t want the troops to know whom you hate, so keep everyone on their toes. As much as it might pain you, you occasionally have to throw the tool a bone in the form of a compliment—only when he deserves it, of course.
