Are you easily affected by the people at work?

There are many different personalities in the corporate world. If you cannot handle their personalities, they will devour your personality. One thing that you can do if you can't express your feelings immediate after hearing bad words - have a stress ball and try to crush it to relieve you from stress, it is somewhat like displacing your stress. Aside from that, you can talk with them and discuss about that matter, be sure that both of you are calm so that no one will get out and be rushed to the hospital. Finding a job is not easy, to resign is not an answer to build relationship is the answer.

These things happen all the time. But I always try to be patient about it and just think that its part of the job. Besides, nowadays we need to be practical and try not to be swayed by our emotions. I don't leave the job on the spot and try to still be professional about it. Well, I guess if it will happen to you again and you feel stressed out, count up to ten, breathe in and breathe out before you leave your job.

I've never left a job on the spot because of the way that my co-workers behave. I will typically take up my issues with my supervisor and hope that things will get better with the job. There have been times that they haven't gotten any better and when this has been the situation, I will usually end up resigning from the job because I don't like the fact that it feels like I have little or no say in situations. I've typically worked in customer service positions and the way that my co-workers behave have an impact on far more people than just those that they work with.

No I wont leave the job on the spot.. its hard to find a job nowadays... you have to be patient, its hard to do especially when the other person is doing things that makes you angry or mad easily. But always quitting a job is not healthy, not for your resume and job background.. You have to face it and then let them know what makes you stressed.. I know it is not easy to do.. I have a job that is so stressful but if you always think of it that way then it will be alot harder...

It depends on what they are doing. There was one time when some people in our company was making issues about me for having an attitude problem even though it was not true. After I found out about that, I didnt like talking with them anymore and I really avoid them. Sometimes I am being plastic to them but I really dont care.

I would say it's very stupid to leave the job undone and leaving just like that.. In a way, we are bowing to those 'bad' guys and satisfying their bullying thirst.. No matter what, we must be sure to finish our job and din let personal matters affect work.. Though it's not easy but we ought to know where our responsibilities are at the moment of time.. If u simply can't take it your colleagues are talking bad things about u, u can walk away for a short while, cool down before heading back again.. The more they try to take u down, the stronger u have to be, in order for them to stop their nonsense on u.. As long as u dun give in to them, they will stop targetting u..

At work, there's always politics and other trivial matters involved. Learning how to cope with these matters takes a long time and it's tough. However, if you can be more patient and not be rash, there won't be any problems surfacing. If you can, you can talk to your boss or some nice colleagues? I'm sure they will be more than willing to help or talk to you! You're not dumb. Those who are big-mouthed and who are always scolding bad words are the dumb ones. If you know that you're right, then you're forever right. Never mind if other people are biased towards you. As long as your never go against your conscience, then just follow your heart :)

I think the best way is to espress your feelings about this matter, and let them know what they had brought to you. As how to start the conversation, can you talk with them directly?

It can be a situation to situation basis depending on what prompted the actions. Leaving your job and going home and abadoning your work is never the answer in resolving the issue. When you have a job, any job, you're going to have to interact with people. Not everyone's going to talk to you in a way you might find pleasing. So learning to deal with it is what you must do in order to keep that job. With the job market in crisis, many companys won't be afraid to let people go knowing there is someone else out there who is so desprite to work they will often take a pay cut if it means bringing in a paycheck. So you don't want to find yourself out-of-work. Most jobs would have fired you long ago if you made a habit of leaving just because you don't like what someone said. That's not how to handle it. The best thing to do is ignore what's being said. No one in this world's going to bow down and talk to you politely and sweetly. Some people may come off as down right mean. Simply try to ignore the comment, unless its an order to do some kind of task. In which case listen to the new task, and not the tone in which it was handded down to you. If one particular person is the root cause of your discomfort, then you have the right to talk to that person. However, being hostal won't get you very far. Approach them, look them in the eye and speak what is on your mind. Make sure to clearly explain the problem and kindly ask them to stop the behavior thats offending to you. Give this a few days. If the person continues go to your boss. If your boss cannot resolve the issue fallow the chain of command. If its something petty, quite often your boss is more than capable of resolving the conflict.

It really depends on what they're doing. If it directly involves me then I'm affected by it. I'm pretty vocal when it comes to that. If it's something that I can ignore then I will. Remember that you cannot control other people's action but you can control you reaction.

hai friend i know your situation. you must change your way of attitude because you must work one company more years you gathers more experience to you. first any person use vulgar words used to you please be quit and dot it your work well. next day asked him nicely and do it your work perfectly. that situation is activating continuously. one day you can hear nice words from him. so please change attitude at once

Why you can be affected by others so easily? Sometimes, it is really unnecessary to pay attention to others' actions because it is just a waste of time. Of course, you may meet a worse situation. The words or their ideas are so annoying that you think you must stop your work at hand and let them know your ideas. You see, you will suffer a lot from such a bad situation because you are wasting time on dealing with something that has nothing to do with you. You can just pay no attention to them and try your best to do the work. Yes, ignoring others may be a better choice indeed.

yes it really bothers me when i dont get along with my co workers cause they mean alot to my work. I cannot get my work done alone esp. in the hospital setting where collaboration of the health team members needed. there are times when u commit errors and they tend to exaggerate the issues and talk behind your back well it hurts and i get discouraged. its a stressful environment and they seem to aggravate the situation so u get really pissed. So most times u just end in putting up in silence or else youre gonna be charged with insubordination.

HI,Leaving the job undone and resigning or going back home is the wrong methods that resolve the issue.You should change your attitude for it.When the people throw bad words to you, maybe you should join the conversation,to express your opinion,let the people know your true mind.I think the way could be better than yours.wish you can find the better way to resolve these things. haha

not really.. well people at work are very noisy believe me. they're fighting with each other too. very bad. so when they start talking, initially they get my attention. but i can just manage and eventually focus back to my work. sometimes they ask me if i'm involved or affected with their issues but i really don't care. no longer part of my job..

Definitely tell them how you feel. Just ease into the conversation. Start of by saying something like, Hey listen i really don't appreciate your attitude and your bad mouth. Say it with authority as if you are willing to stand behind those words. Stand up for what you believe in and try to not back down. And i definitely would not wast 10 years of experience at a job to leave because of some bad mouthing people that are stressing you out. You should also be open to what they may say about you however!

Hello there! The question is, are you easily affected by the people at work? The answer is no. I am not really affected by them at all. I have one topic a few days ago pertaining to what would you do if you hang out with people that you don't like. I am really happy because it has garnered 36 responses in just two days. most of the answers would then be just being quiet and just get out of their company. In your case all you have to do is just ignore them. Do not let them say bad things to you because you just there working in that office and they don't have the right to belittle you. You must have a certain personality that is really you and also project a certain kind of attitude that you are not easily be taken down by just a few bad words thrown at you. Just ignore them. They will get tired of doing that for sure. If you went out and just leave the company without letting your boss know about it then it's one way of saying you lose! It's harsh but that is really the thing you would look like. all you did was put a large grin on their faces if you just leave. Just do your work well and do not mind them at all. Have a great week ahead.
