@karyssamarleriectskin-com Yes I have as well especially in the service industry it's best just to say okay and ignore them and do your work.
@paigebrickhouseiectskin-com Yeah at that point its on them to take the fall for their mistakes if they aren't willing to learn the correct way.
This is very helpful , especially the tips. Sometimes it hard to understand how to work with someone. This is also great for self-reflection. I am not sure what kind of work personality I am.
@paigebrickhouseiectskin-com same.... its really hard to learn more and express extra knowledge when someone thinks they know everything.
I think I have a more reserved attitude when it comes to people I don't know or am just meeting. That is definitely something I would need to work on when it comes to future clients. It is crucial for us as estheticians to ask about our clients well-being and comfort level and reassure them that they can voice any worries they may have. When it comes to clients or coworkers that are difficult to work with or that have the poor attitudes described in this article, finding the best way to approach the situation is hard but essential.
@alexisdozieriectskin-com It is definitely hard to see a passive aggressive person's intentions especially in the work place.
@olgacoloniectskin-com I was thinking the same thing about the biased, have definitely worked with them before.
This article was very interesting. I appreciate this insight on how to work with difficult people. Everyone has different work methods and goals and I find this to be a good reminder to be cautious of different work personalities.
@alexisdozieriectskin-com Yes I agree also a reminder to keep work separate from your personal life. At the end of the day say okay and go home!
@rebeccamatuskaiectskin-com I agree after reading this article it also made me self-reflect on my work personality and or others view of my work personality.
I feel like I have worked with each one of these personality types while being in the military. It can be very challenging but I have learned over the years to just remind myself that people can only meet you as far as they've met themselves. Its a motto I live by, helps me just focus on my task at hand and keep moving.
@ieshabakeriectskin-com I couldn't of said that better myself. Just proceed with caution haha.
@megancumberiectskin-com I agree with everything you said about dealing with people like that. I think it all boils down to good communication with no fluff.
@megancumberiectskin-com I agree with everything you said about dealing with people like that. I think it all boils down to good communication with no fluff.
I have worked with almost every type of person on this list when I was in the military. My direct supervisor was for sure a tormentor for me and I had to try my best not to really take it there with her a few times. It was very hard, and mentally draining but I figured out how to navigate her
@ieshabakeriectskin-com for sure. Remembering that everyone has different work styles and motives reminds you how to deal with them in the work place, or how to to keep your interactions very minimal if needed
@brandyhunteriectskin-com I am going to start thinking about that Bandy. That is a great way to deal with people in everyday life too.
I have worked with all types of personalities. I find that some are just not going to comply. Understanding that will help to deal with them. If its a student I give a verbal warning, then a written warning. They usually comply after that as after 3 written warnings they may be asked to leave the program
@brandyhunteriectskin-com I have dealt with a lot of passive agressive people especially students. It's extremely difficult as different approaches need tp be taken. Working with people in general may be hard if all they do is react
I’ve realized that working with people who constantly play the victim can be really difficult in a work environment. It creates tension because instead of taking accountability, they tend to shift blame onto others, which can lead to misunderstandings and unnecessary conflict. Over time, that kind of behavior can affect team trust and make communication less honest.
Although I consider myself very friendly, I am a bit reserved and like to observe people and so I pick up on a lot of comments and conversations and dissect and try to understand the underlying meanings in what people are saying to me and others. It is especially harder for me to work with people that have these types of personalities because I am a bit of an over thinker and take things personally (although I am really trying to work on that). If something has made me uncomfortable, I will try these tips on how to word comments back to those people with these personalities!
@brandyhunteriectskin-com I have a background in customer service so I have come across all of these types as well but it has taught me to always try to stay positive and stay level headed because I think its not worth it most of the time!
@antoniawillisiectskin-com I used to work with a boss that was very passive aggressive and I was always second guessing what I was doing at work. I was nervous I was always going to get nitpicked and I hateedddd it. Working with these types of people is very draining over long periods of time.
I know that I have worked with passive-aggressive people in the past. When they approach me with this type of attitude, I know that I give it right back to them. This probably isn't the most professional way to handle this type of conflict but it's usually the only way to get them to see that their attitude is the problem and they need to shift their mindset. Sometimes when you mirror a person they realize that they don't like the reflection.
I completely agree, playing the victim is one of my biggest pet peeves. It's hard for people to practice humility and admit when they are wrong. However, this simple act can completely change the environment of a workplace. Being able to say, "I'm sorry, I messed up," is a big part of working with others and creating a cohesive atmosphere.
This is such a good motto to remember when dealing with off-putting personalities. It probably helps protect your peace as well. I've always lived by, "you can't help someone who doesn't want to help themself." It really reminds me not to expend my time and efforts where they're going to be wasted.
