Description

Some people abide by the Steve Jobs' theory of getting ahead at work: Be a jerk. In fact, the workplace in general is getting meaner, at least by some metrics. People have fewer friends than they used to and have less regard for their coworkers. But there's a case to be made for politeness at work. Francesca and Rebecca talk to the writer Paul Ford about how being a polite person has advanced his career. Plus, they learn a fun party trick.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
