In this live taping, science journalist and host David McRaney sat down with psychologist Dr. Tessa West, a leading expert on interpersonal interaction and communication, to discuss how to make work suck less as we return to our offices and figure out how to balance working remotely with working in-person after a year of re-imagining what work even means. They talked about Tessa’s new book, Jerks at Work, an exploration of all the research into how and why gaslighters, bulldozers, neglectors, micromanagers and more do their thing in our workplaces and how to use what we know from decades of psychological research to counteract their Machiavellian machinations.
