By Sara Eckel

Bad co-workers come in a variety of guises: there's the office gossip, the suck-up and the slacker. But one of the most infuriating types is the credit stealer--the co-worker who hogs someone else's spotlight or, even worse, brazenly takes credit for a colleagues work.

From the ForbesWoman Community

The ForbesWoman Community discusses whether a woman's self-esteem plays a role in her salary negotiations and promotions.

Since becoming a CEO, Elizabeth Miles, a co-founder and chief executive of Iken Business Ltd., a legal software company based in Bristol, U.K., has been "shocked to find that (on average) women employees are grateful for pay increases, whereas men expect and demand more.
