  Root out Jerks and Bullies...

  Jerks and bullies! The problem is more widespread than you might think. Research in the United Kingdom and the United States suggests that jerk-infested workplaces are common: a 2000 study by Loraleigh Keashly and Karen Jagatic found that 27 percent of the workers in a representative sample of 700 Michigan residents experienced mistreatment by someone in the workplace.
  
  Lars Dalgaard is CEO and co-founder of SuccessFactors, one of the world's fastest-growing software companies once listed some milestones that his California-based company passed in its first seven years:
  
  - The use of its software by more than two million employees at over 1,200 companies around the world
  - The use of its software by employees speaking 18 languages in 156 countries
  - Growth three times that of the company's nearest competitor
  - Enthusiastic recommendations of the product by nearly all customers
  - Dramatically low employee turnover
  - EMPLOYING NO JERKS
