One thing that I have learned over my years of working in
different offices, is that you don't always get along with your co-workers.
There are times where I get so frustrated that it makes me want to tear out my
hair. Not lately, and sometimes it is more a miscommunication thing than a
difficult co-worker.
Based on the office gossip at the places I've worked, I have been
blessed as far as co-workers go.
I have heard about co-workers who take credit for things that
someone else on the team did, co-workers that steal things, co-workers that
blame others for things not going right, and co-workers that push off their
work on others.
What is interesting to me is that sometimes the people I am
hearing negative things about, are also my co-workers and I've never had a
problem with them.
Of course, I had the same thing happen back when I was in school
as well. Other students and teachers that my friends didn't like or my friends
felt were rude, were nice to me. (Might
relate to the fact that two of my strengths are Woo and Empathy, according to
StrengthsFinder.)
Anyway, the point is that the workplace is not always a friendly
environment.
Where I am now the people I work with are friendly. One of my
co-workers, who is very nice and always offering to buy people coffee, bought
me and another co-worker roses yesterday. It was so nice. They are very
pretty.
I don't know what they are called, but the inside of the petals
are a deep shade of red, and the outside of the peals is an
orange-yellow.
She said it was a thank you gift for help, which was very sweet of
her. And it was nice, a gift that made makes you feel appreciated and that
smells and looks nice.
What do you think of your co-workers?
Have any stories about difficult co-workers?
