A loud and noisy employee

I have a co-employee, he(yes, He=Male) is talkative, loud, noisy and boastful at times. We are a team of 9 people. 5 are female and 4 are male. He is the eldest among all us. And he talks a lot. And when I say a lot, what I meant was A LOT. He talks so much that he is more talkative than my co- female employees. It kinda annoys me because I really don't like people who talks nonsense and are boastful. Do you like them? Ever had a co-employee like one?

A man is an island. We tend to meet other human being whether we like it or not. And yes there are people who we don't like and vice versa. But the hardest part is, that we can no longer stand those people that really annoy us. But in your case you do the necessary options, like talking to the guy and ask him if he can at least lower his voice. But if you cannot talk to him upfront, then you have nothing else to do, but to wait that other people may do it for you. But if I were you, I'll keep myself cool and unannoy, because the fact that you are annoyed the more it is bad for you and your work. And that guy don't care at all.

almost half of my workmates are life that. theyre so full of energy to talk about just anything while on work. most times they talk about nonsense crap to the point they get kinda annoying. they spread up rumours and start fights. they like talking behind peoples back. so unprofessional sometimes

hi trishasantos I think in a lot of places at work there is always one who is loud and thinks he or she is the life of the party,and he or she, in my case it was a fellow she who never shuts up. She did not last long which is unusuall as libraries rarely fire someone unless they are really too awful. she talked b ut she really did not do much real wor k. she started as a page but wanted a clerks job and went in and bugged the clerks while we did the r est of her work. The manager asked me one day what the loud mou th was doing and I said she is in talking to the clerkss and she asked me if the girl had finished her shelving and I , as I was teed off, said" no I did her shelving she said she is going to be a clerk. my boss shook her head, "No not in my library if she cannot do her page work herself I do not want her doing clerk work either." she did get the one way ticket then,.

hello trishasantos! i don't like loud people. they are a vexation to the spirit and mind. it makes me weak just listening to them.i have several work colleagues who are like that, loud, boastsful, both men and women who just can't to talk low or quietly. People who can't pass a day without telling everyone of the going ons in their lives from the minute detail to the biggest event in their household. And these happens during office hours, when the rest of us are trying to concentrate on our respective work assignment. loud and boisterous employee should be banned, they not only contributes to the low morale that other employees feel just listening to him, he or she is also expectedly unproductive most of the times.

Well I know there's nothing worst then working with a loud mouth know it all but unfortuntley people don't always get fired for that. Personally I have had to work with people I didn't like but nothing like you have to. Maybe someone should speak up to this guy and tell him to just shut up and take a break. I know it sounds mean and hardcore but sometimes that is what it takes to get someone to open their ears to listen. Just hope one of the other people you work with get fed up enough to finally say something to this guy. After all you are there to work not to be chatting up a storm right. Good luck

Pschologists will look at him differently. It seems he needs so much attention form his officemates, or maybe it is his coping mechanism.

In any group of people there is often one of these, he may be hard of hearing, that is a common reason for loud speech. Or he may just be afraid that if he ever stops talking peole will know that he really doesn't measure up. This may or may not be true, many of us are insecure and imigine that people will judge us badly, when that is not the true case. Approach him with kindness in your heart and overlook the fact that he is irritating you. You are in charge of how you react toward any problem. Blessings

That must be very annoying! I don't like them either... I don't like people who just keep blabbering of meaningless stuff, whether they're co-workers, family, or people on the street!

No,i don't like noisy people. I mean,there is always time for everything,right time. When having fun,then,it is fine to be noisy. But with normal acquaintance or occasion,i hate noisy people. I also had one friend like the one you are telling here. But at least she's a woman,and also an elderly. I can understand that,being the oldest among us,she knows things or have more experiences than us. But,what i don't like her is...the all i know attitude. When someone in the group is sick and not feeling well,than our friend nurse will tell that person what to do and drink,then this noisy friend will butt in and say...no,all you need to do is like this and that blah,blah,blah. Seems she knows better than the nurse...ugh..so sick. How i wish people knows when and how to behave at least once in their lives.

Hi trishasantos! It's no strange that there is always one around. If it's just bulls*** I wouldn't want to be around let alone to hear.

maybe i just have some different view. if he is that person who will shut up when working and talk a lot at leisure time ,i think maybe it is helpful to relax your nerve ,because sometimes at leisure time ,chat with colleagues about some various things is very interesting , but i do not like person who is boastful ,if he is not boastful ,and do not disturb your work , i will accept ,this is only my personal view ,just for information...

Who would have liked such a kind of guy. Most of the noisy guys and boastful too that I've met are gays. No offense to the gay. Not all gays are boastful and noisy, but the the men i've met who are noisy are gays who are trying to hide their identity. I'm a woman and it really pays me off when someone is just too loud. I'm not a talker either and my voice is not loud but it's really annoying to meet loud people. It's really irritating and sometimes i imagine shutting them off with my fist. Although it's just my imagination.
