BizQuiz: Is your practice a great place to work? (Answer 2c)

Taking the BizQuiz? This is the answer to question 2 of "Is your practice a great place to work?"

2) C—No way!

Nothing ruins the workday like a mean boss. You may work for any of four kinds of team member and boss bullies described in Robert Sutton’s The No-A**hole Rule: a rage-aholic who loses his or her temper, a glarer who stares at you and makes no attempt to hide contempt, a jokester who tease in a mean-spirited way, or a sabotager who’s nice to your face but undermines you when you leave the room. These problems don’t go away if you ignore them, so it’s best to confront them. See "4 signs you’re working for a bully."
