Managing toxic people : a practical guide.

Dealing with individuals who are perpetually irritating can be quite problematic. In this discussion, I will highlight some common issues that we all face in our workplace where there may be one particular person who is exceptionally exasperating.

Although we make an effort to tolerate them, at times it becomes difficult and we find ourselves losing our composure and becoming exhausted, even contemplating violent measures such as disposing of them in the garbage! It may seem amusing but these types of people have their own set of rules - ones that they apply only to themselves while imposing different standards on others. They often demand the best for themselves while expecting less from those around them. If you happen to notice this behaviour and react accordingly, they quickly play innocent victim. Therefore, it is crucial to remain aware of these individuals and respond appropriately so as not to fall prey to their manipulations or political agenda; instead keeping a safe distance from them at all times.
