Laurie Ruettimann is a mentor to dozens of emerging and seasoned leaders. One of her mentees asked for advice on handling a jerk at work—especially when you thought that jerk was a friend. What do you do when someone is unkind to you? What’s the appropriate response? Why does work feel so lonely? In this short episode, Laurie shares her direct and candid advice about managing “friendships” at work that have gone sour and coming through the other side with your dignity and spirits in tact.    *** EPISODE CREDITS: If you like this podcast and are thinking of creating your own, consider talking to my producer, Danny Ozment.
