How to deal with an angry co-worker?
820476
Sounds like your co-worker is jelous of all the extra attention you've been getting from your boss because you're more qualified than she is. It looks like you have a few options you could talk to your boss about the issue and ask if there's any way you two could be split up as it's affecting both your work ethics negatively. You could approach your co-worker and explain that you're not trying to step on her toes you're just doing your best to help out your boss and it has nothing to do with her personally. If none of those work I guess your best option would be the other job. I know if this was my problem though I wouldn't let someone else make me leave a job I loved I'd do my best to work through it by being open and honest with the other parties involved.

If it bothers you, especially the slapping thing, at minimum, make your objections known to him, tell him it must stop now and documant doing so in writing.  Another alternative would be to file a sexual harrasment complaint.  What he is doing is just as wrong as when a heterosexual male does the same thing to a femal employee or co-worker.

You need to confront them in a straight forward manner after you've gotten past the really angry stage.  You need to let them know how what they have done has affected you and what your reaction is to this, if it is leaving or what ever.  Just don't let your anger and pain control the discussion, you need to be clear headed so you can make good choices about what you want to happen for your future.

Arrange a meeting with her. Explain that you find her manner unprofessional and inappropriate. Just because someone is the boss does not give them the right to be (as you put it) an SOB. Every time your boss berates you or behaves in an unprofessional manner, be sure to point it out in a mature, calm way. \n"I'm sorry, but I find your tone offensive/unprofessional/rude/ out of line/etc. Do you think we can discuss this in a more productive manner?"\n\nHope this helps, good luck

I think we have all been there.\n\nI have a co-worker that just cannot accept responsibility when she screws up.  It's maddening.\n\nSo.....I went onto MSN and found an article about working with difficult people, it described her to a "T" and I typed up a label and mailed it to her.\n\nShe was furious but it brought the issue into the open as she was trying to find out who did it and therefore we were able to discuss WHY someone would do that.  We also made her "put the shoe on the other foot" and think of how she would feel if she had to work with someone that treated her co-workers the way that she did.\n\nShe's still difficult and a witch most of the time but at least she thinks about her actions a little more.\n\nGood luck, there's one at every workplace.

My best outcome for angry people is to just leave them alone until there feeling better ,then approach them with concern and kindness,they will be more open to you and apologize if they took their anger out on you...

I'm a bit like that aswell sometimes. Just take a deep breath and walk away. Staying there will make you more angry. If you can't walk away, just tell them you're doing something wrong politely.

There is at least one of these in every company. If the girl is a co-worker (meaning she is at the same level as you and has no supervisory authority over you) tell her in a direct, yet professional manner how you feel and that you will not tolerate her bullying tactics. If the girl is in a higher position than you but is not your direct supervisor, first get absolute clarification from your direct supervisor as to whether this girl has any supervisory responsibilities over you and if she doesnt then tell her in a direct, yet professional manner how you feel and that you will not tolerate her bullying tactics. If the girl has any supervisory responsibility over you and your boss is unwilling to step in and support you and you feel that you cannot continue with these bullying tactics then you should start to look for another job.\n\nIn the meantime focus on doing your job to the best of your abilities and try to ignore her if at all possible.

That co-worker is trying to kiss butt to look so good... However, if the manager, or supervisor should notice this, the fact that he/she con't even offer any bit of assistance makes him/her look pretty bad on record...  If that supervisor does not keep note of such actions, then he/she is as biased as the coworker. \nBut your supervisor is in fact neutral, as he/she should be, you should go have a talk with him/her, or even file a complaint against the co-worker and state it as negligeant and unprofessional, Would rather show some bad attitude, than to upkeep a positive working atmosphere, and what more to make that this co-worker is going out of his/her way to hold things against you...  The fact that he/she is breathing down your collar in hopes of finding any flaw you'll do, you can get away with filing for harrassement and, in fact you can say that whatever mistakes held against you are the result of him/her attempting to intimidate you, and whatever threats that are being waved in your face by this individual.\n\nCheers!

The next time that your boss tells you that "this is a man's job", remind him that he is breaking the law.  A job is a job, there no longer is a "man's" job, just like there is no longer a "woman's" job.\n\nAlso let him know that if there is any more harassment by your co-workers, you will consider that as management's consent and approval of the unacceptable behavior, and you are prepared to take appropriate action, legal and otherwise.\n\nLet him know that you have started a log of inappropriate action/ behavior of fellow employees and management personnel. Starting with the instant conversation, you are documenting everything that is said and done (who, what, where, when, time, place, and witnesses), that you consider to be harassment or sexual discrimination, and/ or related matters such as counselling sessions that you may be involved in.\n\nAlso make him aware that any adverse action such as termination, discipline, demotion, or transfer to a less desirable position will be considered retaliation, and if it happens you will take further more aggressive action.\n\nTell him these are not threats but commitments. \n\nAsk him if that is "tough enough"!

you should tell them you don't appreciate them disrespecting you and especially in front of people if you keep letting them do it there not going to stop. until you let them know how you feel .your just being too nice and that's OK but you have feelings too . tell them to treat you like they want to be treated ,they shouldn't threaten your job either that's not very professional .she could lose her job also  and start taking your lunch i would just do my job and go home you dont need friends like them .

Tell them you have deadlines to meet and that you really can't stand around and talk to them. Try to keep working the best you can. Ask them if they would please let you get your work done and maybe you could arrange to meet them after work.

Align with her instead of going against her.  Just let her know you like her idealism but explain how things work in the office and that part of being at work is learning not to make excuses but just do your best each day.  Make sure she knows the bonuses are extraordinary.  Telling her other companies would not "put up" with her attitude will only make her dig in her heels and fight you.  \n\nRemind her you're all in the same boat and she needs to help with the rowing by doing her part, which is to behave professionally, and it wouldn't hurt to suggest she notice other people's jobs and how many there are that are just miserable - she's got it cushy.

I am in that situation everyday. I have to work with someone that absolutely annoys me and is so difficult to work with. Because I am a mature individual and I want to display professionalism, I have to put my grievances aside in order to get the job at hand done.

Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.\n\nbefriend this person, don't complain about them any more, and wham when ever they say  bad - you can casually mention to the boss which is negative about the job or your boss let your boss know :)  Yeah be a backstabber/brown noser

IF this person is your equal or subordinate, cheerfully say, 'I really have to get going right now, but I'll have that for you first thing Monday morning.' If they say they REALLY need it now, explaint that you're sorry (as you're walking out the door), but that you dont have time, and that they really need to ask you earlier in the day on Fridays (so that this wont happen again in the future).  \n\nWow, your coworkers are rude!  You could wind up in the office all night!

Tell him or her about Anger Management or some Therapist. Cause he/she needs help really fast. And if that don't work, it maybe very tough, but honey, you may have to find another job. I hope I was helpful.
