Assholes can ruin your company culture, make people hate their jobs, and stifle creativity. Yet, the business world is filled with them. The No Asshole Rule does a great job of showing research and data why you shouldn't tolerate them at your company, and also what to do if you're stuck working with (or for) one. It also shows why assholes sometimes succeed, which is an important part of understanding and taking away their power.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
