You didn't choose them. You may not even like them. But you'll spend more of your waking life with your colleagues than almost anyone else. This class is about the people we work with: the ones who cover for you. The ones who steal the credit. Colleagues worth keeping and colleagues you want to avoid at all costs. We'll work out whether a 'good' colleague is more or less competent than you are, and consider whether you'd stay in touch with any of them after you resign.
