Here's How You Deal with Difficult Coworkers

Your coworkers can make or break your work experience. Ideally, you will get along swimmingly with everyone you interact with, but conflict is inevitable at some point. That's the topic today's question for the WorkInSports Podcast explores:

"Hi Brian, I am a senior in Sport Management, and your podcast has helped me gain much knowledge about job opportunities and skills. A question I had, however, is what to do when you don't like a colleague but are continually going to see them at events, day-to-day meetings, etc. Thanks!"

How to Deal with Difficult Coworkers

Not getting along with coworkers can be jarring if you are used to forming close ties at work easily. While difficult coworkers can drain your energy, be careful about devoting too much bandwidth to someone you don't get along with. That isn't to say you should ignore problems that pertain to your day-to-day job duties, but be sure to focus on how the conflict is affecting your productivity rather than the personality differences.
