Inside Job

171: How To Work With Your Nemesis


Listen Later

Is there one person at work you dread having to interact with or team up with on a project?

Have you deemed them your nemesis?

It's so easy to label ourselves the hero and a co-worker we can't stand working with as our nemesis, but that's not always the case.

While calling someone you work with your nemesis can be a playful way to express your frustrations with them, it can lead to some unchecked emotions that might spiral into much bigger problems if the situation isn't handled properly.

In fact, we've both had experiences with a workplace nemesis that lead us down a path we're not proud of and that's why we wanted to address this topic on the podcast.
