Work Jerks, Beware: Rich "The HR Guy" Salon Is Here

You’ve met them—Two-Face Timmy, Micromanaging Maria, and Pessimistic Pete—and no, they’re not cartoon villains. They’re your coworkers… and they’re draining your soul.

In this episode of Dancing in the Discomfort Zone, I sit down with Rich Salon (aka “The HR Guy” https://www.linkedin.com/in/rich-salon-sphr-shrm-scp/) to talk about how to handle jerky workplace behavior without losing your cool—or your job. Author of The One Minute Jerk at Work (https://www.amazon.com/One-Minute-Jerk-At-Work/dp/B0FFMHFHCC), Rich brings the humor, the strategy, and the chili dogs (seriously) in a conversation that’s equal parts practical and powerful.

Whether you’re dealing with passive aggression, micromanagers, or just someone who makes meetings feel like hostage situations, you’ll walk away with tactics you can actually use.

What you'll learn:
+ How to deal with difficult people without running to HR first
+  Why curiosity beats confrontation when calling out unacceptable behavior
+  What to say when your boss is the problem
+  The real key to creating a respectful, high-performing team
+  How a massive chili dog became a humanitarian success story

Don’t miss this one—it might just make Monday morning a little more tolerable.
