How To Deal With That Bad Co-Worker

When you work with a very bad co worker,its always a bad morning meeting them first thing in the office,thinking of what you are going to face in the office that day is always a difficult pill to swallow. You don't need to think on how to resign from the job either because getting a new job is not easy unless you have already made up your mind.
Working with bad co workers is something you should try and find a way to deal with rather than avoiding and with these steps,you will be able to deal with them;


1.Don't Ever Lose Temper:
Don't ever try to attack them no matter the means the approach you with,learn to control your temper and remain calm whenever the are pouring abuses to you.Remain silent and never say a word in revenge thus encouraging them to speak more and pour more abuses word on you.
They said silence is the best answer to a fool,follow him or her with silence and that would make him/her the greatest fool by himself and every snide remark from him/her should be followed with silence. Once you practice this you will see the positive changes from him/her and that will make you a hero.

2.Show Them Kindness:
One of the best strategy for dealing with a horrible co-worker is to kill them with kindness.For every exasperated sigh,provide a smile.For every accusatory rant and rave,provide a calm and quiet understanding response.Always stand your ground but don't react to their nastiness.After the first or second time you show them kindness in their face,the bas behaviour should stop.
Best of all,you will get a euphoric feeling i.e feeling of joy inside you that "i have have controlled the beast."This will make it easier to keep your calm when confronted with accusations.back stabbing campaigns and ghastly behaviour. Best yet,if they keep it up you will make them look like a complete fool.

3.Physically Be Unattached To Them Whenever Possible:
You should not change department or apply for a transfer,it means being aware of a negative environment and removing yourself from it. Why work next to a devil incarnate? If you have a flexible working environment,it will be easy for you to focus on your job if you aren't constantly upset and trying to manage the beast.
Out of sight,out of mind.A noise reduction headphone/earphones(turn on or off) can do wonders.Make it clear to your boss that you can be found at all times in your new alternate location. Don't ever give up your territory-just be somewhere else a lot of the time.

4.Be Alert With The Tiger And Never Trust Him/Her:
Often that beast of a co worker will respond favourable to your kindness and afterwards try to befriend you.No matter how tempting this may be,never trust the Tiger because a wild flesh eating animal must always be a flesh eating animal.This is a professional relationship,let it become so because if you allow it to become more private,you may got bitten by the tiger.

5.Avoid Engaging In Teams Against Them:
Try to avoid joining teams to fight the tiger because some may be bought up and then turn agaisnt you.Even if you succeeded in convincing them,you might get hurt by attacks because fighting is what the do best.

Don’t let a nasty co-worker bring you down,read and apply the rules and you will be the hero afterward.
