How to deal with “NOT SO COOL CO-WORKERS”?

Some co-workers can really be selfish in sharing their knowledge with others and we can not blame them for that since they might have also worked hard to gain the experience. Some can be rather helpful but will tend to remind you now and then that you owe your knowledge from what they have taught you. All the scenario of politics and gossip are most often a part of big companies. In their need for advancement, some would not think twice of stepping on other toes just to be promoted or recognized by the management. In order to get above the rest, do your own self study of your job requirements and how you can best perform according to the needs of your job. Use your observation skills in learning how to improve and ignore your irritating co-workers otherwise you will just be distracted from your own performance. All companies have this certain kind of workers and more often than not, these people do not stay long on the job. I have been with HR for too long that I have met all these kinds of personalities. Just do your job well and in time it will serve you well.

The best bet is talk to your supervisor and sit down with this particular co - worker of yours and talk it out loud. Otherwise, he just would play you out, and not gonna teaching you a thing. I had met such individual at work before, and you just don't want to make a big scene about it at your work place, it gonna make you ugly if you know what I am saying. So, the last resort is to your supervisor, see if he can deal with this individual.

hello there! Ha. you can really meet a lot of people and a lot of many different attitude as well in our workplace. You sure know that there will be those who would seem friendly and helpful at first, but when it comes to work they are unwilling to let you know more than you do when you ask them. I think, these people are like this, because... they are insecure, they are threatened that if they help you and you learn more... you would then become someone that would probably be better than them. So that just happens, really.

yeah it did happen a lot to me and I would simply treat this person in the same way he or she is treating me.. I would even escalate the whole issue to the boss if nothing seems to work out!

Hi Ajay Singh Baguel: i think that's not good with you but if they are so competitive, I think you should not ask them for help and do your work on your own and I'm sure that you won't need them for so long. In the end these not so cool co-workers will need you when you learn everything about your job so try to not feel so affected with this. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day. ALVARO.

Honestly, I don't know how to deal with those people. It seems to me they are the most selfish kind at work. I have encounter such person at work too. Oh well, if they are unwilling to teach me, then I have to ask someone else then. I would ignore those person in life too.

Haha, some people are just competitive at work. i think too many are just like that.. often we can only trust ourselves at work, many people do not like to sharee their knowledge or what they know to others because they see them as a threat that if they get better... they can already replace them, or get the recognition... most insecure officemates would react like that. Perhaps what you should do then is just to ignore and be careful about people who appear to be smiling on your face, and then backstabbing you... just be careful with these kinds of officemates... =)
