Are There Conflicting Personalities?
Working in an office can be difficult because one needs to contend with so many different personalities. If you are having a conflict with a co-worker, try to talk it out with him/her. State your points calmly and rationally, and really try to listen to his/hers. If things have really come to a head, you may even want to consider switching departments (or transferring). Even worse than having a conflict with a co-worker is having one with a supervisor. If this is the case, try to smooth things over, the odds are very good that you’ll be gone before he or she is. If it’s much more serious than a simple clash of wills, for example, your supervisor is acting in an unethical or illegal way, keep copious notes. Taking legal action is a very serious step and one that requires much thought, but if it does eventually come to that, you’ll be very happy that you have documentation.
