Here are the first three suggestions out of 101 ways to deal with a pain in the butt at work. That is the title to my FREE e-book ("101 Ways to Deal with a Pain in the Butt @ Work")
#1
First, make extra sure YOU’RE not the Pain-in-the-Butt.
Look, if you can label someone a jerk, you have the ability to be one yourself. Psychologically, without getting into a lot of science, you can’t dislike what you don’t already dislike in yourself.
Got it?
#2
I didn’t say this would be easy, I just said it wouldn’t be long-winded. So, let’s be clear: you downloaded this e-book because you dislike someone enough in your office enough to spend the time to read all 101 Ways to see if you can make yourself right about it. Right?
And how often has this strategy worked for you? I mean, of all the times you’ve been right about someone being a jerk, have they stopped?
Exactly. Let’s try something that works for a change.
#3
There are a few ways to deal with butt-like people.
First, is avoidance. I’m fond of this as a first step. I’m not talking about the cold shoulder.
I’m talking about NOT being in the breakroom when they are, NOT joining the group around the coffee pot when they are, finding different ways of hanging out so that interface is minimized.
This isn’t cowardice. It’s taking control of your environment.
If you HAVE to work side-by-side with this chump, hang on.
