Ignore the leeches...or deal with them?

I can't that's why when I see that new administration in the school where I previously worked i tendered my early retirement. I can't take people like these... and I want to save myself from being abused.

Hi there ! Don't trust them , they will stick and suck our resources while you still have it . Some people are as bad as this , let us not tolerate them , they must learnt some lesson and must realized that we are aware of what they were doing. let us not give them the chance more to abuse us. That is why it is very important to be careful in choosing friends.

it is a shame to have to be around that kind of environment. it seems like it's such a doggie dog world at work. that would stress me out so bad.

I sometimes had this problem in high school. A lot of times, I'd have to pretend that I don't know what the lesson is so they would just leave me alone. It worked most of the time, except for those that knew me very well. They know that I studied the night before so they didn't stay away from me until after the quiz. Although they also didn't tell anyone else since they're my best friends.

we may let some issues just past. But if these people still try to do things that will ruin you in the long run, then it is time to speak up and confront them. It is not healthy to be just taking everything in.

Leeches are basically those that feed on you with the main goal of putting you down because in truth they feel bad about themselves. Sometimes you need to talk with them. It will be up to them if they want to change. If they are somewhat mature they will listen to good advice but sadly enough most leeches are not like that. Ruining others will backfire in the long run so why copy their behavior. It would be best to avoid them like the plague.

Sadly there's always one or two of these types of people in any workplace, it's knowing who they are and keeping them at a distance. Usually they are very unhappy about their own lives that they want other people to be unhappy too, so they will be very critical, gossip about others and use people for their own purpose. They generally affect the work place morale and some even get a kick out of it too.

For everyone's peace of mind, leeches should learn a new way of dealing with others; but we shouldn't let the leeches leech in the first place.

uh I tend to ignore it however, I back up myself with some plan if someone try to ruin my life I believe in karma, this kind of person will pay for what he had done

Yeah I work with a lot of different people that would rather complain and focus on themselves at work rather than do their part to help everyone else and make everyone's work experience much less stressful. I don't understand why they have to complain all the time or why they can't just do their work. One guy I work with spends so much time complaining that sometimes he is not able to get all of his work done and I have to finish his work for him. The worse part I found about it is that these so called leeches often get paid more than me and it never really seems to be a problem when they slack off or don't do all of their work.

Depends on the individual. Some are innocent people who don't realize their ever growing demands on others. Then some are just out to get as much as they can from you. I always check by make sure to say "no" a few times. If they don't leave you, then they are not there just for what you do for them. These are good people who are just needy. If when you say "no" they disappear, that's a leech. You are better off not having them around.

Hi Shavkat: I think it's better to ignore them, work by your own because the closer you are to them the more you could be hurt. Sooner or later life will give them a lesson. It's better to keep focus on your own work that will show people who you are. Actions speak better than words as people say. ALVARO

I was thinking real leeches but I guess they are about the same aren't they. I know a few leeches and they are going to run when the chips are down, so sad for those who will be depending on them to take care of them, like they were for so many years.

Id say leave them alone. Unless they are doing something to you. I really hate to get involved in things like that.

Leeches are meant to be taught a lesson. And when they are given one, they really will feel how hurting being a leech is to others that they step on the way to being a leech.
