The workplace can be a nice environment to be if you are lucky or a very difficult place to work if you are unlucky to find yourself in a very hostile community.
In case, you are not finding things easy at work for reasons ranging from jealousy of colleagues, difficult bosses, relational issues, etc., hereunder are suggestions on how to cope:
1: Evaluate the situation dispassionately. Find out what the problem is and how to deal with it.
2: You should be objective enough to see if you are not, in fact, the cause of the problem.
3: After you have identified the issues, determine the best approach to use in dealing with the matter.
4: In the classic case of sexual harassment, for instance, which is the most common form of work place challenge that women suffer, you should report the matter to appreciate authority. Whatever the case, don’t take the laws into your hands.
5: Sometimes, it’s the boss that is the oppressor. Find out what the issues are and decide they can be remedied. Otherwise, the wise thing to do may be to quit.
6:If the problem emanates from a colleague, try to talk it over with the fellow. If that fails, you could report the matter to your boss.
7: One sure way to have it easy at work is to be as diplomatic as possible. Be friends with colleagues and give your best to the organization. Avoid gossip or office politics.
8:If you are a star performer that everyone admires, be very careful because some would envy you. Constantly be on guard.
9: You should also never give in to blackmail. Fight back when you need to.
10: Finally, know when to call it a day.
