The raging narcissist. The overexplainer. The passive-aggressive. Here’s what to do with those colleagues you dislike (but still have to work with).

Hopefully, you like most of the people you work with. But, there are always a few who rub you the wrong way, and research suggests that these coworkers may be getting more annoying.
