I’ve been Netflixing the TV show Scrubs on DVD. What a great show! My wife and I finished season one and we were watching the bonus material. Donald Faison (Chris Turk) was being interviewed about the show and he said that the set only had one rule...
Don’t be an A**hole.
"When someone says that if you are an a**hole you are not going to be here for very much longer, you’d be surprised how much nicer people will be."
I think we need to implement this rule at every company.
Anyone who has worked in human resources knows that the people who stay with a company are usually happy, communicate well and are liked by most of their co-workers. They don't cause trouble, they encourage teamwork.

These people are not only causing resistance for others but they have created resistance within their own mind. When someone creates resistance, it leads to more stress for them and others around. Those people rightfully should stay away from others.

Hey Shilpan, resistance is a good way to describe the emotional outlook of a jerk at work. Maybe they are afraid to relax and enjoy themselves. What ever it is they need to adjust their behavior or leave if they are that unhappy.
Simple rule that can be applied anywhere. At school, work, or in daily life.
