Dealing with Disruptive and Dysfunctional Coworkers

Let’s admit it. Not all bosses and coworkers are pleasant. Many are, but many others are offensive, uncooperative, jealous, rancorous, cantankerous and what not. In workplaces, in which we spend a major part of our lives, having to deal with these kinds of people is necessary, because it is unavoidable. People have given up their jobs or changed the track of their professions only because of such colleagues at the workplace.

This kind of situation is certainly not a very likeable one, because we return home after work in expectation of a better environment. When most of our day is spend interacting with colleagues who constantly badger; we carry that negative baggage home. Of course, disagreements are natural and even unavoidable at the workplace, because it is a workplace. But to what extent? Should it be to the extent of killing our career prospects or ruining our family lives?

Dealing with dysfunctional coworkers

But then, such colleagues simply cannot be wished away. As the old saying goes, what cannot be mended has to be endured. It may not be necessary to take this adage in the literal sense of term, because such people need not be endured at all times. One can learn to exist with them. They have to be dealt with, sometimes with assertiveness, and sometimes with a conciliatory attitude.

Are there ways by which one can deal with colleagues who are not merely disagreeable, but simply outright dysfunctional? Are there ways by which they can be made to understand that they are crossing your path beyond reasonable limits, and that enough is enough?
