Below are tips to get by with rude workers. If you follow these tips and keep your head about you, you will be able to handle rude people in the workplace.
- Avoid eye contact.
- Don't take it personally.
- Keep a neutral face at all times, no matter what they say or do.
- Be professional but chill--just let them know that whatever they're doing is not okay with you and then act like it's totally normal for someone to talk down and disrespect their boss like that. Just go back to work and carry on as though nothing happened at all.
- Don't take anything personally; it's all about them and not you.
- Never confront the person--that will just make things worse.
- Stay in control of your emotions.
- There are very few people in this world that you truly need to be civil with, but if you do, remember that it isn't personal--they're just being rude for no reason.
- Remember that not everyone is going to get along, and that's okay. Just focus on your own goals and interests and try not to get tangled up in other people's drama
