 Have you ever found that the people most guilty of unruly behavior at work are also the ones who are most oblivious to their behavior? Take Fred, for example. Fred is the guy who asks you to "help" him with a big presentation (aka, you do the whole thing). But when Fred is congratulated on a job well done, he takes full credit for the work you did. Or, look at Susan. Susan talks to you for hours on end about herself -- her family, friends, work and play -- but never does she ask about what's happening in your world.

All of these toxic personalities are showing up in the workplace now more than ever.
