- #27: Tired of bullying in the office? We all have at least one: the coworker, client, or boss you just can't stand. They make life difficult, and they may even make you question your sense of self-worth. Unfortunately, the chances of them going away are next to nil. If the person is just generally annoying and doesn't have a direct bearing on your work, you may be able to ignore them. But if they bully you and you have to work with them on a daily basis, it's time to take action. 1. Know how to spot the problem people in your organization. They show a variety of symptoms: Some are serial chatters and won't let you get a word in edgewise. Others dodge blame. Some fail to turn in work on time, no matter how much leeway you give them, forcing you to pick up the slack. Some may gossip about others behind their backs. And then there's the toxic coworker who just never has anything nice to say about your work. Toxic coworkers can take many forms, and your first line of defense is to identify them. 2. Whether you like it or not, your manager is in charge. If your boss is easygoing and a joy to work for, that shouldn't be a problem. Unfortunately, there are far too many people out there who are not easy to work for and are demanding, arrogant, moody, or just plain mean. Sometimes confronting a difficult boss can put your position in jeopardy. But if confrontation is necessary, try not to make the bad boss feel defensive. 3. Your first reaction may be shock at the way you're being treated. At work, you expect others to act professionally -- not an unreasonable request -- and it can be difficult to discover coworkers or clients who behave in a childish or hostile way. Take time to let the shock wear off, then try to evaluate what's going on. 4. If you're dealing with a problem person at work -- especially one who bullies or undermines you personally -- you probably need to take action. If you don't, there's a good chance the situation will deteriorate even more, not to mention that the stress of dealing with a bully could take its toll on you and your work. You need to let the offending coworker know you're aware of their behavior and are willing to take it to someone higher in the chain of command if needed. 5. Whatever you decide to do, don't let it wait. The longer you deal with the toxic situation, the angrier you'll become. When you finally do take action, you might behave in a way youll regret later. It's better to handle the problem before it really sours, while you're still emotionally in control.
