Work disputes are nearly inevitable.
Anyone who has worked in a team knows it requires patience and perseverance to get things done.
When someone lets the team down, it can be incredibly frustrating.
One Reddit user onr/MaliciousComplianceshared an encounter with a new hire who significantly increased the teams workload.
During a demo, field agents reported issues with the graphical user interface (GUI).
The workflow was seemingly running smoothly until it wasnt.
The OP was called in by his boss who mentioned that the field agents couldnt use the GUI.
Needless to say, she wasnt pleased upon returning to work.
As a result,she eventually got her monitors back.
After all, we spend a considerable amount of time with them.
These hours together lead to significant reflection on both work and the people involved.
Rallybrightemphasizes the importance of having realistic expectations when dealing with difficult coworkers.
Remember, its not realistic to like and be liked by everyone.
Sometimes, you simply wont get along with another person; you might rub each other the wrong way.
When this occurs, its helpful to remember that the feeling is often mutual.
Additionally, chances are that your situation isnt permanent.
Difficult colleagues often have a high turnover rate.
Its not worth engaging in a temporary problem if it will cause lasting damage to your reputation or career.
Remember, this too shall pass.
