I have heard managers describe themselves as "toxic handlers" or "in charge of asshole management," but I heard a new job title this morning that I will now use when talking about The No Asshole Rule: Asshole Wrangler. It came in this charming note from a manager:
"I had planned to do
some therapeutic reading while recovery from surgery and didn't get to your
book until the day I came back to work.. Unfortunately I have been
anointed the a*hole wrangler from my senior management team and three days out
of work leaves plenty of mess to clean up. Therapy came in an all
nighter, finishing your bulk in one sitting. The TCA list will definitely
be shared with my HR director; we haven't found a good way to quantify behavior
and your example will be invaluable."
