QUICK READS
YOUR COWORKERS,
colleagues, office
mates, comrades, fellow employees,
associates, or peers (in other words, the
PEOPLE) may cause you to think, “Help,
my team stinks!” Well, not literally smelly,
it’s just that they’re not fun, not inclusive
or supportive, don’t pull their weight, or
they’re downright rude. What do you do?
Know what you’re getting into:
Help
prevent the problem in the first place by
making sure you meet coworkers before
you accept the job offer. You’ll interview
with a manager, but sometimes they’ll
bring other employees into the interview.
If you’ve made it to the second interview
and they still don’t introduce you to
colleagues, don’t be afraid to ask!
Gossip Bias:
When starting a job,
don’t let other employees cloud your
perception. Stay away from company
gossip or water cooler talk. Just because
someone else doesn’t get along with
Jane doesn’t mean you won’t. Don’t stir
the pot by adding your impressions to
the conversation, as you’re only
encouraging coworkers to share
complaints with you. If you’re constantly
fed complaints about peers, you’ll begin
to believe them. What’s fueling your
dislike?
Discuss Directly:
If you can’t seem
to get past the differences, discuss the
colleague(s). Complaining directly to a
manager before trying to solve the issue
with the fellow employee can damage
coworkers’ relationships for the duration
of employment.
Up the Ladder:
Give it time. If the
struggle continues with no improvement,
it may be time to speak with your
supervisor or human resources.
Sometimes an outside perspective is all
that’s needed to resolve a conflict. If
the situation isn’t changing, consider
transferring to a different department
or location if possible. If you can’t stand
to work another day with your fellow
employees, start searching for other
opportunities on
AgCareers.combefore you make a hasty exit!
