Handling Difficult Co-workers

You need to play your office politics well if you intend to last long in such toxic environment, there's nothing I value as my peace of mind
You may be right with politics because everywhere you go politics cannot be avoided. Playing along can make you comfortable and you can be spared from the subtle attacks on your person.

Yes, but the experience is not funny, this guy almost frastrate my life he was the supervisor in the hotel were I worked this guy is full of trouble, seeing you laugh is a problem there is nothing you will do that he will appreciate, what I do then is to avoid him
 
One of the most effective ways of handling different co-workers is to just talk to them and explain to them just how their attitude affect the way you work.

You can consider trying to approach them so that you will be able to tell them exactly how their behaviour usually affect your line of work.
 
The simple trick is just self control cos no matter how much space u try to give no matter what strategy u try to use, the annoying ones will always come around
 
I used to endure the bad behavior of many annoying co-workers when I had an offline, 9-5 job at a company. I mostly used to ignore and suffer. Unfortunately, bullying is not only limited to school life, you may also get bullied at work by your boss or co-worker. The best thing to do is to leave such kind of job.
 
As long as the worker is performing or doing what he or she is supposed to do and it is beneficial to the company I don't have a problem with that,I will only limit my interactions with the person and discuss business alone
 
Handling difficult workers is actually much easier. To be honest, there are difficult co workers everywhere, it's left to one how you'll set your standards. You must set your standards amidst them
 
Inasmuch we all wish to have a smooth working relationship with those we're working with, it's always not possible, because some co-workers can be really annoying. In other to always stay a step ahead of them you need to keep your emotions out of your dealing with them.

I learnt to simply limit interactions with my bad tempered co-workers. This will give less room for strife. Unfortunately, the person was my supervisor so I couldn't report to anyone.
 
You make a very good and interesting point as to say and I also believe always mind your business whenever you are at work place avoid much noise with people around you focus on the on the purpose of which you are been employed for.

You can't determine or tell people you work with how to live their lives, express themselves or react to things. Many people are ignorant of the annoying things they do, most times things our Co workers see as nothing is disgusting to us. The best thing to do is to avoid issues while dealing with our Co workers, avoid engaging in gossips, politely tell them things they do that you don't like.

True, when you limit your communication with such persons, you would be blinded from see the things they always do to make you angry, hence you would get peace of mind on your side as well, giving you enough time to be calm when dealing with them later on.
