Workplaces often foster collaboration among women, but encounters with challenging behaviors can drain your energy. Psychologist Meredith Fuller, author of Working with Bitches: Identify the Eight Types of Office Mean Girls and Rise Above Workplace Nastiness, outlines eight distinct types. Here's a breakdown based on her expertise:
- The Excluder: Ignores you deliberately.
- The Insecure: Obsessive fault-finder.
- The Toxic: Vicious, slimy, two-faced.
- The Narcissist: 'I am the star, you are the servant.'
- The Screamer: Evil screamer.
- The Liar: Troublemaker, never to be trusted.
- The Incompetent: Steals your work while offloading hers onto you.
- The Not-A-Bitch: Highly knowledgeable and sees right through you.
