We’ve all worked with someone who we don’t like, and sometimes, you don’t even realize what you don’t like about them. Fast Company spoke with conflict consultant Kathleen Bartle, who suggests it’s best to recognize what about them sends you into a rage so you can deal with it better.
The idea here is basically to prepare yourself for a coworker who you don’t like and to watch for whatever it is that triggers your annoyance:
Take a look at what sets you off and who’s pushing your buttons. That way, you can prepare for when it happens again. When your teeth are on edge and your hands start to shake, you can check in with yourself and defuse your response. Therefore, you won’t end up erupting angrily in the moment, which is almost never a good idea in the workplace.
