Do you hate working with somebody that just on the schedule today? If so, it's probably time for them to be gone. I know that seems harsh, but you know, that's the first indicator I have that something is wrong in the relationship. And while I certainly counsel people, you want to take this person aside, maybe take them out for a cup of coffee, see what's going on, chicken with them at some point, probably their mind has left and the body doesn't know it.

And the important thing for you to take away is, look, you're known more from your compromises then for your successes. So if you're letting somebody who's like a Bitter Betty or a Bitter Bob beyond your floor and you aren't doing something about it, or you hate going to work with them today, that means it's time for you to take action and make a change.
