It's that time of year when professors and grad students take to social media to ask for help dealing with academic assholes. But who are the assholes and how do we deal with them? In this episode, I read an excerpt from Dr. Robert Sutton's book The No Asshole Rule: Building a Civilized Workplace and Surviving One That Isn't and share my own strategies for dealing with the assholes in academia.
