Mean People Make More

A recent study revealed that men described as disagreeable or mean make 18 percent more money than their more agreeable peers. Disagreeable women make about 5 percent more than their more agreeable peers.

Cornell Professor Beth Livingston found that disagreeableness is often rewarded in the workplace. Over twenty years of analysis and three different surveys involving 10,000 respondents seem to confirm that being disagreeable or mean nets those individuals more money.
