Do you have enemies in your workplace?
Some of us may have enemies, not that we create enemies for ourselves. But
there really are people who behave like they are the boss even if they are not
the boss. Many of them have boorish behavior that they bring into the
workplace.
So, how would we handle them? The first
that we have to do is to simply ignore them. When we ignore them, we let them
drown in their own arrogance and foolishness. This kind of behavior when
ignored normally dies a natural death.
However, there are those who are so
arrogant that they would persist to annoy us even if we’ve been ignoring them.
They would try to bait us to stoop to their level. What then should we do?
Should we as well stoop to their sewer level behavior? Of course not! We have
to take the higher plane by not stooping to their level.
Would this mean that we will simply let
them annoy us and we do nothing to extinguish their errant behavior? Absolutely
not! Everything has its own limit or tipping point. Sooner or later there would
come a time that we have to face them so that their errant behavior could be
addressed permanently.
And when we do so we have to be firm, we
should not back down and we have to stand our ground no matter the odds against
us. There are trouble makers in the workplace for the simple reason that we
allow them to create trouble. – Marino J. Dasmarinas
