  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a book that's written called Working with You
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Is Killing Me Freeing yourself from emotional traps at work.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: And we're told these are like the five personalities that
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: you need to beware of. First off, the exploder charismatic
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: and charming, but a powder keg ready to explode.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Oh, I thought maybe they had lettuce.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: No different kind of that's a different type.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: So they seem really nice and they.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Have charismatic and charming.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: But sometimes they really explode.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like maybe on the daily several times.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: And then some people don't see them explode and they think.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Really they're crazy. Yeah, seems so nice.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: But if you're round them enough.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: You know that is it doesn't take much. The empty pit.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: This coworker has a lot of personal problems, and they
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: lean on you to listen and make you feel guilty
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: if you don't.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: The saboteur, a friend, a fan, perhaps an admirer, Yet
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: all the while they are twisting the knife in your back.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Oh two face, I don't twist a knife in your back,
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: but I am an admirer.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Kuffy. The pedestal smasher, the one who puts
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: you on a pedestal only to find ways to chip
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: away at you and bring you down.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: And finally, no, no, not at the current moment, I'm
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: fine as well.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Disclaimer at the current moment, I'm good. But I've worked
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: with bosses in the past.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah that you feel like you're doing great, And then
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: and then yes.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: And it's very detrimental. And finally, the chip on the
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: shoulder that's smart capable, A bitter person, this colleague convinced
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: that he or she is being treated poorly by everyone. Okay,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: sounds a little paranoid.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well so you.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Are none of the above. It does name all the people,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: and the book is freeing yourself from emotional traps at work.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: It doesn't tell you how to deal with the people.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: So I guess the first thing is recognize this and
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: know what you're dealing with, and then we come up
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: with a strategy.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: That's probably gonna be the next book.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: That's well, that's somewhere in this book. I'm sure it's
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: like getting us to go read the book.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: But this particular snapshot of the story doesn't have how
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: to deal with it. But that makes me want to
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: buy the book.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a long title. It's called working with You
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Is Killing Me freeing yourself from emotional traps at work.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I would have needed this years ago.
