Dealing with Negativity at Work

This video by Career Contessa covers a topic that is difficult to deal with for many. Host Caileen Kehayas talks about how you can deal with difficult coworkers, office politics, and negativity at work.

It’s not a secret that in your career you will have to deal with workplaces that have their share of people who most will find challenging to work with and maybe some amount of politics. The best you can do is improve the way you deal with these issues.

Inevitably you will meet a co-worker who is always negative. The video explains how you can deal with someone who is not just playing devil’s advocate, but rather looking for problems without any solutions. You are also destined to meet a coworker who is always competitive, and not in a healthy manner. This again, doesn’t do much to better the job at hand. Work environments will also give you the coworker that is the office gossip, the bully, or the slacker. This video tells you how you can deal with each one and cope with the negativity at work while meeting your own targets.
