I have got this book on order from Amazon and cannot wait to read it - The No Asshole Rule: Building a Civilized Workplace and Surviving One That Isn't by Bob Sutton. This book was published in February this year. It is about creating an environment where no assholes should be allowed in the workplace or allowed to flourish in the workplace and provides some tips for victims of workplace assholes. If you go to Bob Sutton's blog there is also an Asshole Rating Self Exam (ARSE).
Bob has also blogged about interviewing Adam Penenberg who is writing a story for the American Association of Retired Persons. Adam is looking for stories from people who have faced workplace bullying, how this has affected the person and their family and how they fought back. He also wants to take this a further step and if possible have people name names; that is the name of the person who bullied and the organisation where it happened.
