When we talk about toxic people, we know we can separate from them. With difficulty, but we can. However, in certain circumstances we have to deal with these people on a daily basis, but we cannot avoid them, as is often the case in work environments, for example.
In addition to seeing this toxic person every day, you have to work with him, achieve a concrete goal between the two (or between a group) and end up succeeding. It may seem overwhelming, but we can handle it.
- We can differentiate seven types of toxic peers that we can find in our work.
- Or in any work environment we are familiar with:.
He is a person who always seeks to be the center of attention, appropriates conversations by imposing his views, is always very competitive and does anything to achieve his goals.
The informal never respects delivery times. Always late for homework, late for meetings and work, etc. The irresponsibility of such people affects others in a working group.
The workplace is ideal for this type of person, you can see it, especially at breakfast, commenting and chatting with others, does it sometimes act like one? Spy? And she informs her superior of the details that are not relevant, but that harm others.
One of the worst co-workers is the one who does his job inefficiently. They don’t care about their work or their peers. They use the “law of minimum effort,” which has a negative impact on the whole group.
The furious one always seems very busy. That’s why he’ll never greet or smile at you, he doesn’t like to work as a group and prefers individual work.
6. This is a person who never agrees with the opinions or decisions of others, always goes backwards. It’s very difficult to work with him because it’s very difficult to come to an agreement.
Your competitiveness has no limits. Never miss a good chance. They are still waiting to take credit for others in the eyes of their superiors.
As we’ve seen, it’s hard to avoid a toxic partner because we have to work with him every day, so the question must be how to work with him, but without affecting us.
To begin with, we shouldn’t be playing your game. Our best option is not to get carried away by those who are continually angry or who always want to be protagonists, we have to accept them. You should know that there is nothing we can do to change them and that we have no option to avoid them, so accept that they are like that, but don’t let that influence us.
If it really affects you and you can’t help it, think about it, think about why it affects you so much, if you have to allow it and what you need to change, change your point of view, try to see the person in humor and as a learning experience of what you can’t do, it will be of great help.
If you’re dealing with toxic partners, never ask for their approval, if you do, give them power and devalue yourself, they’ll never rent your job. Then let go of the pride, do your job in the best way possible and, above all, respect your peers, even if they are toxic companions.
All toxic colleagues are not expected to adversely affect us. While hard to believe, many of them can increase our productivity.
Having a curious partner, for example, can be beneficial, intruders allow you to disconnect and strengthen a group, as well as increase productivity, help relax the office environment, increase companionship and promote better group performance.
The person who is continually opposed can also strengthen the group. Because it allows us to see “the other side of the coin”, balance the opposite view and be aware that we are doing it right or wrong in our work.
That everyone agrees is good, but it can also mean that something is failing. The problem arises when the opposite happens continuously, with the aim of deranging.
