Whether it’s a co-worker who bulldozes us during staff meetings and shoots down every new idea, or several colleagues who make up a clique outsiders just can’t break into, we’ve all had to work with people we simply don’t like. They can turn a job you otherwise enjoy into your own daily personal hell.
Some perspective is in order. While your
co-worker’s behavior may feel like a personal affront you did nothing to
deserve, he or she may feel affronted, too, says Andy Selig, ScD, a
management and organizational psychologist who often mediates tense
workplace relations. “Most of the time, all the protagonists involved
feel like victims,” he says.
