How to Work with Someone You Hate
Working with someone you hate
can be distracting and draining.
A jerk, annoying nudge or
incessant colleague can
negatively affect your attitude
and performance inside your
company.
How to Work with Someone You HateIntroduction
Instead of focusing on the
work you have to do together,
you may end up wasting time
and energy trying to keep your
emotions in check and
attempting to manage the
person's behavior.
How to Work with Someone You HateMain Consequences
Fortunately, with the right
tactics, you can still have
a productive working
relationship with
someone you can't stand.
How to Work with Someone You HateYes, you can!
Your response to your dreaded co-worker
may range from slight discomfort to outright
hostility.
But you need to learn how to manage it and
don't think about how the person acts, think
about how you react.
It's far more productive to focus on your own
behavior because you can control it.
How to Work with Someone You HateStrategy 01 – Manage your reaction
While working, avoid complaining
about someone since it can reflect
negatively on you.
You may get a reputation as
unprofessional or be labeled as the
difficult one.
Ideally, choose people outside the
office when sharing your opinions.
How to Work with Someone You HateStrategy 02 – Keep your distaste to yourself
Once you have your reactions in check,
think about what it is you don't like about
the person:
Is there something specific that sets you off?
By better understanding what is bothering
you, you may also be able to see your
role in it.
How to Work with Someone You HateStrategy 03 – Consider whether it´s you, not them
If none of the strategies have
worked, you may want to consider
giving your colleague some
feedback.
Don't assume the person knows
what is upsetting you.
How to Work with Someone You HateStrategy 04 – Consider providing feedback
In situations where you are truly
stuck and can't provide feedback,
you should practice the fine art of
emotional detachment or not giving
any importance.
Just don´t care and carry on your
job.
How to Work with Someone You HateStrategy 05 – Adopt a don´t-care attitude
Manage your own reaction to the
behavior first .
Practice emotional detachment so the
person's behaviors don't bother you .
Spend time trying to get to know the
person and better understand what
motivates him.
How to Work with Someone You HatePrinciples to Remember - DO
Don´t assume that it is all about the
other person — you likely play some
part.
Don´t share your thoughts since people
may judge you for your complaints
Don´t give feedback unless you can
focus on work issues and can avoid a
personal conflict.
