No matter what kind of slave labor you subject yourself to during the day, you might be wondering of the four annoying co-workers you have and how to deal with them appropriately. Great co-workers can make your time at the office interesting, insightful even. Annoying co-workers will only make your life a living nightmare. Deal with these four annoying workers at your work place with an iron fist.
know it all coworker
The Know-It-All The Know-It-All has an opinion for everything and anything, never allowing you to speak your mind. An opinion outside of his own is obsolete and your opinions go in one ear and out the other. You might be wondering how to deal with the Know-It-All without being too forward. The best solution is to simply cut them off. If you are talking to a co-worker and Mr. Know-It-All starts to interject, be quick to put him in his place by saying something along the lines of “I need to finish my conversation. I will get to you in a second.” The key is to be firm, showing the offender you mean business.
negative nancy
The Negative Nancy The Negative Nancy zaps the life out of everyone. He does this by always pointing out shortcomings, as well as the negative aspects of work. He is commonly noted as being one of the more annoying co-workers and how to deal with him—while staying sane—is a feat in itself. You do not have to be friends with this person, but simply asking questions and inquiring about his life may help you understand him. You never know, he might be a friendly person who’s simply misunderstood.
gossip coworkers
The Gossip The Gossip always has some story about someone. One of the more effective solutions to shutting up a Gossiper is to simply nod your head with a blank look on your face until he's finished with his story. Don't say anything and don't interrupt his thought process. Once he's finished, simply walk away. Better yet, walk away right in the middle of his story. he’ll get the message.
blabbermouth coworker
The Blabber Mouth The Blabber Mouth is one of the more annoying co-workers you have and how to deal with one is not as simple as plugging his mouth shut with your fist. The Blabber Mouth has the ability to rope people in and talk… and talk some more. As a diligent, hard-working individual, you know that time is money and you do not want to waste it with someone who can’t seem to shut up about random stories no one really cares about. Usually a straight-forward response will disarm a Blabber Mouth. Tell the offender you are on a time constraint and keep on moving with your day.

I’m tired of working in this firm due to sack threats and poor pay Q. I am an underwriter at an insurance company. This business has outstanding repute and holds sway in the local market and even among industry rivals, and is the envy of many. But the sad truth is that employees are treated dismally and constantly threatened with sacking. The pay is poor, and working conditions are hostile. Ironically, the firm spends millions of shillings every year for publicity. Please advise me because I am tired of this pretense.  I do not know how long you have been in this company, or whether this is your first job or how you joined the organisation, but all these have a bearing to answering your question. If you have been there for long, there is a good reason that has made you stay  despite the challenges. This means you have needs that are being met, from advancing your career, gaining work experience, training, networks to even financial needs, despite the poor pay. You n...
