Words have an immense power in society, crossing all cultures. They have the power to heal, to enlighten, to educate, to encourage, to inform, and yes, to describe your office nemesis.

Here’s a list of some of the best (or worst) words to describe your adversary. 

1. Bully

A bully is a blustering, quarrelsome and overbearing sort.Every office has one. The trick is to know their buttons so you can discreetly and strategically push them to the delight of your co-workers.

2. Manipulative

 "Influencing or attempting to influence the behaviour or emotions of others for one’s own purposes: a manipulative boss.”

3. Gossip

Every office has a Gossip. Typically, your office gossip is close to the seat of power. They know what’s going on, who’s in and who’s out. 

4. Screwup

It's  “a habitual blunderer.”  If the boss assigns you to work with a screw-up, either the assigned project isn’t that important, or he/she has it in for you with the expectation of failure. Make sure to update your LinkedIn profile before you start working with them. Just in case.

5.Deceitful

This person wakes up in the morning and makes it their mission to, as Dictionary.com’s definition succinctly states, “deceive or be misleading.”
