Do you have annoying colleagues at your workplace?

I do have an annoying colleague. Everytime there's a new colleague she questions their credentials. She has this some kind of superiority complex and to think that in the strict context they are more superior academically and professionally. How do we address this, well me and my colleagues don't really mind this, because we know that she's like that and that we would be lowering ourselves if we would be confronting her about this hehe. Eventually, she got the point when nobody was actually talking to her. It's like a silent protest.

I simply ignore the person who annoyed me in my workplace.

First, who doesn't have an annoying colleague at work. It all depends on what is annoying you that your colleague is doing. Sometimes letting it go by without saying anything is the best route. Other times just sitting down and talking about it helps eliminate things. Every situation and person is different. Once you have an understanding on how a certain person is/reacts, then it's easier to handle the little things in life that bother you.

you can accept it,for you have no choice to change, life is always so

LOL - I'm a straight forward type of person; what you see is what you get. If I have a problem with you, without being confrontational, but very matter-of-factly, I say it to your face. I try to resolve issues quickly and don't hold grudges. I'm an adult and "assume" I work with adults. Well, I learned, what turned out to be, the "hard way" when tackling the annoying behavior of a colleague -- follow the normally "unwritten" office guidelines. For example, even if it goes against every fiber of your being, if the norm is to run to the supervisor and tattle, do that. On one occasion, after I voiced my discontent with the behavior of an associate, she ran right to the supervisor and said she felt "threatened" by me voicing my opinions. In actuality, I would have more so used the word "intimidated" -- but that's just me. Next thing I knew, the supervisor is accusing me anger management issues and work place violence. OY! Word to the wise - follow those unwritten office rules.

Oh, yes definitely these kinds of jerks exist everywhere you go. Having worked for close to 20 years already (20 yrs this coming April 2007 to be exact), let me tell you that no workplace is immune from them. It doesn't matter whether it's a gigantic US multinational, a small mom-and-pop grocery store, a 500-seat callcenter, or a 20-person staff, there's gonna be a jerk lurking somewhere waiting to irritate you. The worst kind is the one who constantly tries to belittle you no matter what you do (or don't do). Here's the trick ----- IGNORE THEM COMPLETELY ----- The more you pay attention to them, the more it feeds their energy to irritate you. You'll find that the more you actively ignore them, the less they'll try to irritate you. Anyway, if you find a lot of these jokers around (just read Dilbert), just keep in mind that that idiots outnumber us intelligent species! Chow!!!!

yeah i hav. but not many. but they r supposed to be in every workplace. how do u deal with them? pls tell me.

Yes .quite a few of them . I basically try to make things as clear as possible to them and never respond to their frenzie. It makes me look odd sometimes but I know what I am doing and explain to anyone who is ready to listen

Yes there are lots of them...but Cant help it have to tolerate them...specially girls who talk rubbish and do back biting

I used to in my old company but now that the big bosses there shut it down, well, they're not my problem anymore. Its more of an attitude problem with them since this husband and wife think they are God's gift to the company. They acted smug and important which they were not. It was ironic that I felt happy when the company shut down since I was losing my job but at the same time, I got free of these annoying people.

When I worked outside of the home, yes, I had annoying people that I dealt with at work. Most of the time I would just be honest with them on their behavior...

all of us has annoying people on our workplace, me, like everybody else has these "monsters" and sometimes im completely sorrounded. (.'_'.)

hey u hit the right nail...every one has annoying colleagues .some are plain enery vampires drainin your energy awy ,some are plain jealous about you.some bore you whole day with thier saas bahu stories,while some are verry very serious and dont indulge in any fun activities

Try to be as diplomatic as possible. Having said that, there is no need to worry what others think of you. You are there to work and not to make a family of friends. Coworkers are never to be made friends. Only to be treated diplomatically. Besides the boss pays you to work and not socializing.

no idea.

dont work

I dont have an annoying colleagues at my work place.But two of my frens suffered from this kind of behaviour.They were asked to stay back in the office for long time without having any work and all.Sometimes they were assigned large amount work so that they will b staying all night in office.All these happened.Be cautious and frank to ur supervisor.thats it.

yes, i have an officemate who copies me all the time and like what everyone does, i ignore her. silent treatment is the best.

i avoid that one

as u know where ever u go their are good and bad people.some try to annoy you as what they want is to you tumble under pressure.as you have work to do u keep complete concentration on work.talk to those guys you know well and always be friendly to everyone.keep yourself cool they are going to end this when they know you are not going to respond to them.dont give them an oppertunity to annoy you.
