Do you have an annoying colleague? How do you handle it?
Haven't we all experienced that person in the office who grates on our nerves? I can't imagine there is any office setting that doesn't have stresses and strains between coworkers because one or both annoy each other.
On my Love Doc slot today at 8:05 AM I'm discussing annoying colleagues with Angela and Spence on their Heart Northwest and Wales breakfast show. Do listen in if you're going through this.
I'm also off to film a pilot for a potential programme for Channel 4 with my lovely friend and colleague Jo Hemmings - it's exciting that the same time many, many more pilots that made than programmes get commissioned.
TODAY’S TIP: Back to colleagues - my top tip is to ask yourself this question: is what annoys you about them something you should ignore? Something you should tackle? Or something your line manager should tackle?
Let that be the starting point for action you take. Let's face it in some cases someone annoys us but in reality whatever it is we need to ignore it - and it's not something we can expect this to change. In other cases we have every right to expect their behaviour to change. The crucial starting this is recognising the difference between these situations.
Good luck with it, Pamx
