Personally the way I handle some coworker is trying much as I can to mind my own business and do what I'm supposed to do when I am supposed to do and leave the office and come back tomorrow and repeat the whole thing.

This is something I've come to learn while working with a group of people in a organization recently. Even though I was opportuned to serve in a leadership position, I came to realise that when having issues or trying to resolve conflicts, always ensure your aim is to make peace.

The only whether you can be able to manage a difficult manager at your workplace is to just do what you supposed to do when you are supposed to do with and answer him or her yes sir or yes ma'am whenever they enquire about something.

The only way i try to handle co-workers who are just a handful is to ignore them.
i try as much as possible not to communicate much with them, as too much familiarity with them may breed chaos.
It is best to avoid such people to avoid problems.

Absolutely.
It is best to avoid them.
Most of them dislike being corrected or advised and may even take it uo against you.

 

[Skysaint]

You're right on what you have said, there is no need to banter words with such a person, all you need is silence as sometimes it speaks louder and also more effective than using words.

Do you really think this is going to help because I understand most bad managers will always find something fault about you just for them to accuse you or to shout at you inappropriately, if you think this will really help then maybe a lot of people won't consider their manager to be bad.

 

[Trexxxy]

Yeah, true. Self control is key. I have had an experience in work place, a fellow worker was always looking for trouble and everyone just stays away from him

Oh ok. That is one way of dealing with trouble makers, staying away and not giving them the attention they crave could work. In some cases it could all get frustrating and you just want to react.

Personally I know that is something that is very difficult to handle but you don't really have a choice in this situation rather than to agree to whatever thing that person says and move on.

Difficult co worker will always be difficult no matter the strategy you are employing to bring both of you together, for me if that is how he or she has been created I'll just let them be on their own without having anything to do with them because I Can't Withstand difficult and harsh people.
