8 Types of Difficult Women in the Workplace: Insights from Psychologist Meredith Fuller

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.
