friend one minute, then gossip about you the next. The solution - keep your distance figuratively and literally. Physical closeness makes it easier for her to slime you, vampire your energy, and irritate you with her blackness. Refuse to gossip, refuse to let her whisper or mutter ambiguous statements, and call her on them. The Narcissist is a self-serving ego-centric mean girl who expects everyone to admire her. She doesn?t care about the good of the company, only about looking good, and expects you to feed her ego. The solution - don?t expect much, if anything. If you need her buy-in on a project she needs to think it will be a feather in her cap, or an opportunity to bathe in the light. If she is denied applause and attention, she will sulk and turn belligerent and de-motivated. Never become a handmaiden by doing personal favours or odd-jobs such as minding her animals, or covering for yet another manicure trip when she is supposed to be at a meeting. The Screamer cries for attention, yells to intimidate, screams to insult, and then yells some more for good measure. There is no point trying to outscream her ? she has more practice. If your organisation is OK for you to say ?I?ll come back when you are calmer?, leave. Humour may defuse the situation. Keep your distance and stay close to a doorway ? don?t allow her to box you in. Also check ? is she rude and unaware? Some screamers have never been told about their unacceptable behaviour. The Liar has mastered the art of excuses, quick fibs, and charming manipulations. Never trust them. Never be alone with them ? they will twist whatever is said or done. They like the game, and usually escalate it. At some point they will have to go, but you may not wish to wait them out if you report directly to them. The Incompetent lacks knowledge, work ethic, and awareness. She makes you do the work for her or takes credit for your work in order to make herself look good. Her arrogance may be defensiveness or she simply may not know what she doesn?t know. She will be suspicious that any information or advice from you is to show her up or is a challenge rather than support, so get it across from neutral sources. The Not-a-Bitch may have an unfortunate or disagreeable manner, but is just trying to do her job. Look at your own behaviour - don?t project your laziness, tardiness, lack of attention, or lack of manners
