Workplace friendships

Day three of your workplace soul searching continues. 

Question 3 is another big one. Do you have any workplace friends. 

This is important because you need to have someone at work that you can confide in. It's great to be able to go home and talk to your family about your issues at work. But sometimes its nice to have that person that understands first hand what you might be going through. And maybe they are going through the same things. Lets face it, you can take your problems home with you, but how much do you think your family wants to keep hearing about the same things that happen, over and over again.

So while having friends at work is a good thing you also need to remember that not everyone is open to being work pals. Some people are in it for themselves and are willing to do what they can to get ahead. Keeping that in mind you need to be really careful about what you say around people. Get to know who you work with so that you are mindful of how you react around them. I would also recommend not talking about people you work with while you are at work. It will help you to avoid any unnecessary arguments and awkwardness around co workers.

If there are problems at your work with co workers try not to bring too much attention to yourself. But don't allow yourself to be bullied. The best advice I ever got was from my husband. You can stick up for yourself just be smart about how you do it. Know what to say at the right times. In other words, don't let the moment pass you by. If someone says something to you that's rude and inconsiderate take that moment to stick up for yourself. But be smart about what comes out of your mouth. Be strong. I have been working with a bully now for five years, and it has taken me that long to be brave enough to stand up for myself. Most people think of bullies as school age meanies. But that isn't always the case. And like school age bullies, the adult bullies are equally as unhappy with something in their lives so they need a way to make themselves feel better. And if they can't have their way at home, they will bring it to work and take it out on people there.
If there is no way to get around this person. Then what I say to my kids is just ignore them and don't let them see that it bothers you. That is the best way to get back at someone.

I want to wish you good thoughts in this step. Having personally experienced the workplace bully and co worker friends issues I know it can be tough. So be strong and think wisely.
