Look, we have all been there. We aren't going to like everybody we come in contact with. What's worse in fact is having it happen at work. What do you do? I know it's an extremely difficult position and it's totally draining you. Here are 3 great tips to try:
- Keep it to YOURSELF- Most difficult and I have seen it a million times, when we are in conflict with others, we chat about it. Tell fellow colleagues and complain, get it off our chest. It truly reflects badly on you, not to mention it totally brings others down. If you want to vent, do it OUTSIDE the workplace. I have been negligent on this one myself but have changed my ways. When you know better you do better.
- Manage your reaction- I realize this one is going to be a toughy but try and not react when someone has totally annoyed you. Focusing on how YOU react and NOT how they have is key. You can only control YOURSELF and not others. Be aware of this. You look like the better person when you can manage yourself anyways.
- Work together- Perhaps a fantastic opportunity to maybe see the reasons for their poor behavior. Are they stressed at home? Pressure from his leader?
All in all, its a tough situation to be in. It is beyond frustrating having to go to a place you spend the majority of your life at in some cases, and having to deal with someone that your uncomfortable certainly doesn't help. Stay calm. Be the better person. Breath. Working through it is truly the key. Your leaders will appreciate your control.
