Just today, I had an encounter with a colleague that is just soooooo over the top annoying. So I went and did a web search on how to best handle this kind of person.
And this is what I found out. My colleague is TOXIC according to this article: https://www.businessnewsdaily.com/53...oundaries.html.
The article stated:
Moody defines a toxic colleague as one that:
Stifles your talent and limits others' opportunities for advancement
Twists circumstances and conversations to his or her benefit
Chides or punishes others for mistakes rather than helping them make corrections
Reminds co-workers constantly or publicly of a disappointing experience or unmet expectation
Takes credit or avoids recognition for others' new ideas and extra efforts
Focuses solely on meeting her or his goals, at the expense of others
Fails to respect co-workers' needs for personal space and time.
So I also did a LITTLE introspection. Am I toxic?
Do you have a toxic co-worker? What did you do about it?
