The No Asshole Rule
“Sutton's ‘no asshole rule’ puts a stop to the abuse in no uncertain

positive self-esteem creates a more productive, motivated, and satisfied
workforce. If you have ever been a victim, just reading Sutton's
analysis brings calm relief, empowerment, and reassurance that you're
not alone.”
