DO YOU WORK WITH A MEAN GIRL?

A woman's field guide to the new frontier of professional development--working with other women

Women-to-women relationships in the workplace are . . . complicated. When they're good, they're great. But when they're bad, they can ruin your day, your week--even your year.

Packed with proven advice from two of today's leading experts in workplace relationships, this one-of-a-kind guide gives women the tools they need to navigate difficult situations unique to women-to-women relationships--whether with a boss, a colleague, a client, or an employee.

Have you dealt with a woman in the workplace who:

  • "Accidentally" excludes you from important meetings?
  • Seems intent on taking you down professionally?
  • Gossips about you with other coworkers?
  • Makes you look bad by missing deadlines?
  • Forms a "pack" of mean girls to make your life miserable?

Mean Girls at Work isn't just about surviving difficult situations. It's about transforming a toxic relationship into one that benefits and supports both of you.

This book is also for women who engage in mean behavior . . . but don't know it. After all, who hasn't gossiped about a female coworker? Who hasn't rolled her eyes in the presence of a woman she doesn't like? Who hasn't scanned another woman head to toe--which is just a nonverbal way of saying, "You've just been judged"? The authors provide invaluable advice to the more subtle ways of being mean--even if they're not intended.

With a workforce composed of a higher percentage of women than ever, workplace dynamics have changed. Crowley and Elster cover every conceivable scenario, providing critical advice on how to rise above the fray and move forward professionally.

Mean Girls at Work is your map to dodging the mines and moving forward in today's transformed workplace.

Praise for Mean Girls at Work

"An invaluable suit of armor for surviving nine to five "
--Leil Lowndes, bestselling author of How to Talk to Anyone

"If you think the emotional cruelty of comedies like Mean Girls and Heathers doesn't exist in the real world workplace, think again. In Mean Girls at Work, Katherine Crowley and Kathi Elster valuably chronicle female vs. female predators and offer solid defensive strategies."
--Ann Kreamer, author of It's Always Personal Navigating Emotion in the New Workplace

"Whether you are in your twenties and just starting your professional career, your midcareer forties, when you are supposed to have figured it out already, or a woman in her fifties or sixties who's seen it all--this book is a must-read. . . . The authors have finally given women the tools and the sound advice necessary to deal with . . . conflicts that keep us all from succeeding. . . . Carry this book with you to work every day "
--Carolyn Cassin, President, Michigan Women's Foundation

"A must-read for women of all ages in today's workforce. This book offers what we all need to develop the capacities to endure this ever-changing workplace. We know it is all about relationships and you need the skills outlined in this book to survive and thrive when the Mean Girls attack."
--Kim Harrington, Coordinator, Professional Development and Training, Office of Human Resources, California State University, Sacramento

Great value for your new puppy!
Pattern Name: Cow Chew Toy Set
My puppy ripped through many other puppy toys before I bought this set. Her favorite toy is the ring with the rope. I don't know if it's intended that she bites the ring part, but she likes the rope part and I hold the ring part. It makes for more enjoyable tug game for me as well since my fingers are protected when she gets over zealous and chomps higher on the rope. The little blue rope is harder on the fingers in that regard, but is great for an integrated tug and toss game. The blue dumbbell is great to hide a treat in the ends or a little peanut butter and has proven durable. The blue and white chewbone is a durable occupier through getting her adult teeth. I save the plushie and the jingle ball for car rides so I don't have as much to report for them. The whole set has been well worth the price. I got this for her at 4 months old and am reviewing at 6 months old. She is about 25 lbs now, so I estimate this set is good for small and medium puppies. Larger puppies might outgrow this faster.

Great quality and made in the USA!
Pattern Name: Cow Chew Toy Set
I'm very happy with these toys. I can't stand these other toys that break easily and are from other countries that just don't have the same standards we do.

Great pack of toys for your fur-baby
Pattern Name: Cow Chew Toy Set
Our sweet Ziggy loves these toys. A couple he doesn’t pay much attention to, as he has favorites but there is a good variety and he’s enjoying all. The blue rubber toy with ball shapes in end you must watch them with, even with baby teeth he was able to chew ridges enough to get tiny bits of plastic/rubber off in about 10 minutes. He still plays with it outside. His favorite is the nubby blue/white bone, the rope/ring and snuggly plush. Good value!

Far Exceeded Expectations
Pattern Name: Cow Chew Toy Set
This was the first online purchase of dog toys that I made after we got our puppy. Purchase was made in August 2023. Currently February 2024. Honestly, they were a little oversized for her at the beginning, but she still played with the stuffed cow (it was kind of her woobie) and some of the others. Seven months in, here are her "reviews": Round bone thing: Only clunker for our pup. She never took to that. Cow plush squeaky: Loves it. Easy squeaker so a small puppy can still make it squeak, which they love because they think they're killing it. Flat bone: Excellent for the devoted chewer. This has withstood many hours of gnawing with little evidence of wear. I do inspect it regularly because the hard plastic edging could be problematic if it starts to degrade. But it's holding up so far. Blue double knot rope toy: This was one of her first chewers. She still loves it, though it does show wear because she is chewing off the tassles over time. Totally worth it. Rubber ball with bell: She likes this, especially if someone throws it for her. From an owner standpoint, it gets slimy with saliva pretty quick, so I'm less enamored of it than she is. She hasn't used it as a chewer, though I'm sure some do. We leave it in her crate at night and that's how we know she's awake in the morning, because the bell tinkling as she rolls it around in the crate is a giveaway. The rope ring thing is her A#1 very favorite thing, not just in this pack but among the wide variety of toys she has. She chews on it all the time and I'm back to order a new set of toys just to be sure we have one ready for the demise of the first. She loves to have it thrown, but she'll also just sit and chew on it. She also loves to do what my son calls "the spin cycle," in which she holds the rope in her mouth and throws the ring end all around as she spins. It's entertaining to watch. My aunt would have said, "Oh, look, she's playing with herself." To which my cousin would have replied, "No, Mom. Not WITH herself, BY herself!!!" Remembering which just entertains me all the more. Now, a Boy Scout or sailor with knowledge of knots could re-string the one I have with new rope, I'm sure. And the next time I visit my dad, I'll ask hime to do just that. But for most people that's a bridge too far, so this company would be wise to sell just the rope pull toy. I haven't found a similar design on Amazon. We have found this set to be a great value and highly recommend it.
