Inside the workplace
In these first few blog posts I’m going to go into workplaces in general, the types of people that work there and how these differences can work either with you or against you.
Dealing with different personalities at work can be one thing but when abusive behaviors take over, you need to take action.
In subsequent posts, I’ll be covering the different types of workplace behaviors such as:
* The Workplace Bully, is there more than one type? Do we need to put up with them or can we make it stop?
* Workplace mobbing, how does this get started and what can be done to stop it?
* Workplace verbal abuse, Do we really have to put up with it so we won’t lose our job in this down economy?
* Workplace intimidation, does this really keep us under control as workers, or is there a better way?
As you can see there are a lot of different subject matters that can and will be discussed on this blog. I’d like to encourage you to comment to any of these posts with your questions or dilemmas so that I can help you with them.
Workplaces and their differences
If you just take a moment to consider the variety of workplaces we have and the variety of jobs that need to be done in them you will just be astonished with the scope of it all.
There are health care jobs, manufacturing jobs, office jobs, outside jobs, inside jobs and if you think about the sheer numbers of it long enough, it just gets to be overwhelming.
Now, realize that there are a lot of different personalities that occupy these jobs which really makes the workplace issues come to life.
Not only are there the pressures of getting the work done but then the workers personalities come into play as well which can lead to volatile situations if left uncontrolled.
There are some common characteristics with each type of person that exhibits disruptive workplace behavior. Through recognizing these characteristics we can create a game plan that will bring about the changes needed to get that bully or mobber under control and finally give some much needed relief to the workplace
