After my Good Morning column ran yesterday about my old boss, Sheila, I received several e-mails from other professional women sharing their experiences with bad behavior at the office.

One reader sent me a link to this great article "7 Ways to Handle Your Dysfunctional Office" from Monster.com. I admit to employing a few of these strategies myself and can say that they really work.

On the topic of bad work manners, check out the story "Fire at Will" on the cover of You, Inc. today. It's all about how "bad employees can trash office morale," and, unfortunately, I can attest to the truth of that article as well. Been there, done that (and quit that).
