People who like to start trouble at work
« on: May 02, 2014, 07:30:19 am »
I guess at every job we will find people who
Have nothing else to do but start trouble at work.

I just think those type of people have nothing
Else to do ?

What do you think?

We have one of those people in my department at work. I really don't know what makes people act like that. I think she just wants attention, like a toddler who acts up and throws a tantrum when he's bored and wants attention.

Some good advice......

How to Beat a Bully—Without Using Your Fists
Some bullies want to provoke you just to see how you’ll react. But the Bible gives this wise advice: “Do not hurry yourself in your spirit to become offended.” (Ecclesiastes 7:9) The fact is, ‘returning evil for evil’ could add fuel to the fire and lead to further problems. (Romans 12:17) How, then, can you beat a bully without using your fists?
Take a lighthearted approach. If a taunt is simply an attempt at humor, try to laugh it off instead of getting offended. “Sometimes it’s just a matter of not taking aggressive statements so seriously,” says a boy named Eliu. If a bully sees that his words have little effect, he may stop the harassment.
Use mildness. The Bible says: “An answer, when mild, turns away rage.” (Proverbs 15:1) A kind reply is what the bully least expects, and it can defuse a tense situation. True, keeping coolheaded when under attack takes self-control. But it’s always the better course. Proverbs 29:11 says: “All his spirit is what a stupid one lets out, but he that is wise keeps it calm to the last.” Mildness is a sign of strength. The mild person isn’t easily thrown off balance, while the bully is often insecure, frustrated, or even desperate. For good reason, the Bible states: “He that is slow to anger is better than a mighty man.”—Proverbs 16:32.

When people start trouble at work, they have nothing in the world better to do.  I formerly worked as an Accounting Clerk/Accounts Technician for a not-for-profit Social Service agency and my supervisor called me into his office to inform me that another co-worker was being transferred to our office.  He said not to tell anyone.  He also informed the other clerk in the office, and this woman went to the other co-worker and told her of the transfer.  The next day, when my supervisor went off on me and swore he only told me of the transfer, I told him I did no such thing.  How did I have time to do it when I never left the office but the other clerk did?  One day we were sitting down having lunch and this subject came up. I told the other co-worker that I had been accused of telling her, and she exonerated me by telling everyone she didn't get it from me; she got it from the other clerk. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :rose: :rose: :rainbow:

You are absolutely correct.  There are far too many people who waste precious time being total jerks.  I remember the days at the work place where that was prevalent.  That is why I no longer have a, so- called, work place.  My husband and I are small business owners and any problem makers that come around are not around for long at all.  We finish with a client and move on to the next.  If they were hard to deal with, we only deal with them for a short time.

I think they need to do that so it makes them feel like they fit in. I think they are very insecure people and personally I have no time for people like that.

I was always lucky to be in some kind of management and I could write them up, after a few times they were let go. If you have to work with disharmony around you cannot produce as well.

That's what it's like at my dad's job. He works at a mental health facility, he's a tech, and there's a nurse who actually accused him of punching one of the kids. Obviously he didn't, security footage proved it. Apparently she causes trouble for everyone.

There are people like that everywhere!  It starts when you are in school and follows you for life!   :(
