The No Asshole Rule has had many, many reviews by now, most positive, and a few negative. And I have by this point seen all sorts of weird reactions, and have learned to laugh about them. One just went up at Amazon this is especially weird — and funny — because it provides not even a hint that the reviewer read the book. I guess that having such a strong title provokes this kind of thing, but most people who write a negative review of a book usually actually say something about he content of the book!

A**HO** survive due to bigger A*ES, May 5, 2009
My personal experience is when ever there is an ahole who seems to
survive no matter what damage he does, it is because this ahole licks a
bigger ahole, his boss. Then this ahole boss does same to his ahole
boss. Even if one normal person exists in hierarchy – the ahole chain
breaks and aholes are gone. I guess being an aggressive person I never
had anyone intimidate or threaten me. But my rule of thumb is simple –
If someone bothers me, I talk to them right away – privately, then
immediately to the HR and immediately to their boss. This happens
mainly though email for a record. Then when that horrible colleague
comes backs at me, I humiliate it publicly. Even if the ahole boss
wants to fire you, you have a record. Worse they will move you in a
different team. We all only live once, it's something we owe to
ourselves, then if someone acts like an ahole, put them in their place.
Be bold and be confident. |
