It seems like you think you leave it behind when you leave elementary school and high school and stuff. Sometimes you think you leave the bullying and all that stuff behind, but you don’t. So let’s get started talking about some insightful advice that I would give my kids, my niece, my nephew about work. The first thing is at work, you have to be very professional. There probably are situations that if you were outside of work, you would probably handle differently. But at work, you can do those things; you have to have a level of professionalism. Even if someone is pissing you off, you have to basically check them in a way that is not insulting, is not degrading, and makes you cover yourself. So the first thing that I would do is anytime you’re meeting with someone, especially you’re having some type of conflict with them, make sure you follow up via email because you don’t want it to get to a point where it escalates. And then you don’t have any paper trail to back you up. Make sure that you document everything. It might annoy the other person, but who cares. This is your career. Anytime you speak with someone, make sure that you send a follow-up email in that email. They can respond if they think that there is something that you didn’t really get correct. But at least you have a paper trail that goes with that, so if you ever escalate. I have met people who have had to escalate to even a higher level in my career. There was even one coworker who had to actually hire attorneys. And that is why it’s so important to document the other thing as well. #careertips #careeradvice #dealingwithcoworkers #workemail https://www.instagram.com/p/CYCLwjloFzV/?utm_medium=tumblr
