Workplace bullies are at another level of toxicity - whatever you say or do will be held against you. If managers are not willing to put a stop to it, the suffering will go on forever.

Ha! I used to hang a sign on the back of my seat because we worked in a cubicle office - no official walls - and it worked really well as people would see it and just keep moving! So for those who don't have an office with a door - put a sign on your chair that you are doing focused work :)

toxic coworkers are draining and they consume a lot of time if we don't set boundaries around them - and even then, it is not always easy to keep those boundaries.

I agree, it's not always easy to keep those boundaries, but important to do you best so that your time is not consumed by toxic coworkers.

As an office manager I asked the coworker/employe if we needed to talk. She responded that it had to do with personal at home. I then said leave home at home. She was being very rude and short. The next day she walks in as if her behavior was ok. She acts as if every one owes her and the more you tell her not to do something the more she does it. Not to mention always late. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@AdrianaGirdler 2 жыл бұрын

As a manager I am sure this is difficult for you to deal with, including the impact it has on the rest of the staff. At my office I have a sign on the door that reminds all of us to leave issues at the door before entering the office that will have a negative impact on the rest of the team. It’s something we all respect, because we all respect each other. I hope that at some point this employee changes her tune. Thanks for watching and for sharing. Cheers!

I work with a toxic insulting nurse. She let her house go into foreclosure, so I think she feels powerless. She can turn anything into a power struggle. We work in silence so we don’t have to deal with her comments. The doctors quietly agree with us and thank us for dealing with her, but do nothing to hasten her retirement.

Hi, James. I am sorry to hear you are having a problem with a toxic project manager. Not knowing the extent of the toxicity it's hard for me to give you concrete advice, however if it's a case of annoyance, having a calm professional conversation with the individual may help to solve your frustrations. If the behavior is having a negative impact on your mental well being then a conversation with someone higher up may be needed. Wishing you all the best, cheers.

The problem here is that you didn't define (Toxic co workers) Unfortunately the internet is flooded with this word and the results are that employees and social media is tagging people with labels without even truly knowing the definition or true characteristic of a Toxic person. It's very sad to see that coaches are also to blame for this phenomenon.

Thanks for this😄 I know how it feels having a rude co-workers behind you. There's level of toxicity and I have to deal with that because I need a job. Sometimes you need to avoid them. Sometimes you need to talk and speak out yourself. But the thing is you have to think outside the box and consider what they going through. In my case, nature of work causes my co-worker to act toxic. It's very hard to be treated rudely but you have to understand them also.

Yes many bosses / coworkers / clients are full.of sacristic talks and fully of toxicity inside them.. Which makes people go away from them... Don't be sacristic to people based on there past life It show the person cheap characters if some one always sacristic to other person bullying him or her based on past.
