Everyone's had a coworker like this: they're nice enough, but they do one thing that is just so annoying, like eating carrots at maximum crunch volume every day of the week, or kicking off their shoes to unveil their smelly feet. However, this episode isn't about those annoying coworkers; instead, we're talking about the truly toxic people that can make work a living hell, and how you can best deal with toxicity in the workplace. First off, Liz and Larry share their experiences dealing with — or, as is often the case, getting away from — overly-aggressive clients and employees. Then we help some listeners! Ryan's boss wields his timecard like a weapon in the office, and his martyrdom complex is wearing thin, while Chuck's coworker steals his ideas while acting like his only friend in the office. And Miranda's dealing with a promotion that wasn't everything her CEO promised.
