I have a little experience with working offline and thankfully I did not have to deal with difficult co-workers. I worked for one year as a store manager where I had just one helper and 17 days in a company with six staff.

I haven't really had any situation whereby I dealt with a difficult coworker because in all the time that I have worked I have connected myself and there was no time that anyone really had any issue with me and I didn't have any issue with anyone.

Some co-workers can be so annual sometimes. Upon completion of my service last year, I worked as a part-time teacher for some schools. The problem wasn't the boss but the co-worker. I never knew many people had similar complaints about her. She was so mean and barely content.
I had to quit.
