Its impossible to be friends with everyone.
First, we wanted to know what inspired him to share this post.
Mainly to get it out of my system, he noted.
But unfortunately, the OP says that his coworker still annoys him.
That probably wont change.
Two colleagues commented about them, Outersenshi said.
From what I saw and heard, nobody else saw it as me calling him out or being petty.
One did mention that I was being more detailed than usual with my messages to him though.
Finally, Outersenshi added that it can be therapeutic to be petty sometimes.
I never overdo it and mean it to be harmless in the long run, he explained.
Yes, my coworker was called out for what he did, and yes, I was maliciously compliant.
Dealing with individuals that youre not a fan of is an annoying yet inevitable part of life.
But it’s possible for you to control how long you stay triggered and how long you are upset.
So if you need some tips on work chat etiquette,Taskworldhas got you covered.
First, they recommend not leaving messages on read without acknowledging that youve seen it.
Dont leave your colleagues hanging!
Next, they suggest not sending a string of messages back to back.
Simply craft everything you want to say in one go, and send it off.
And be careful not to get into any arguments over work chats.
Sarcasm and jokes dont always translate well over a screen, so its easy for messages to get misconstrued.
If youre frustrated, you’re free to be direct, but be polite too.
Messages can sound harsh when read without hearing a persons voice.
Taskworld also suggests refraining from criticizing anyone publicly.
If you have a note for a colleague, address it directly with them.
Theres no need to embarrass them or alert the whole team to whats going on.
