How do you react to a misbehaviour of any of your colleagues? Do you try to keep cool and remain polite in your dealings with him or react violently and go for a counter attack?

I do not care about the behavior of others, as long as people's behavior does not disturb me.

It has been several years since I've worked outside of the house. However, when I was working as a nursing assistant at one of our local hospitals, I did observe that there were a lot of times that the people that I was working with were not treating our patients the way that I thought that they should. That said, I would never confront them in front of the patients because I felt like doing that would have been misbehavior. Therefore, I tried to maintain my calm until I was able to talk to them in an area where there was no chance that the patients or guests of the patients would hear.

Hi DoctorDidi, when young I would get annoyed as well when someone treated me in very bad manners. for that time I was too young and inexperienced. Thing would go worse if the eyes of both sides were covered by anger. One will regret if coping with thing in a huff. Fortunate that time all my colleagues were courtesy and caring. They were hospitable and we helped one another in the office Occasionally one would happen to be impolite when he or she was in blue mood for encounterring undesirable matter in thier work or personal affair. Life experience would make us to think twice what to do when we come across any misbehaviour person. I belive fist wouldn't strik on a person with friendly smiling face. Happy posting

Well, it depends on my mood and the gravity of the misbehaviour. If it was done unintentionally, then it's nothing to be angry of. But if it's intentional , then i would demand an explanation for it, lest i will get angry.

Hi. DoctorDidi. I ignore them and try my best to continue my job. I will remain polite. I won't react violently with them. If I feel like I am going to be this way, I will have a talk with the supervisor so that they can have a talk with them.

When I was still working there were alot of people younger than me and I really had a problem with their lack of professionalism. They were also pretty loud. Luckily we had a very strict conduct section in our guidelines. If it were ever a serious matter i would take it up with our group leader or my supervisor. Depended on the severity and exactly what it was and who it was. I would always try to remain professional and I felt I could not I would leave and go to the ladie's room or walk around alittle.

I just try to avoid the person and hope at least one or all the supervisorssomething when a collegue misbehaves! Where I work some employees get chance after chance to get through get their "act" together! Sometimes way to long! Where I work they do this is every department and I don't understand why they do it! Some goes with the students who are employed! It is stupid and ridiculous!

I generally let them as much rope as possible, with guidance and warning to keep them in line. In case this fails, then I hang them.

It depends on how they came on to me, in this work few years ago this girl wich was the wife of the boss, and just because of that pushed a tool all over me and made this hudge noise, I tried to control my self and think but in I don't know two seconds I couldn't, and throw back at her the same way. All the girls there smiled when she bullied them, that made me really sick. She actually became afraid and she just did her thing because she was married to the guy. yeck

It depends in the situation. I can keep cool If his/her behavior is still tolerable but If it's not I gave first a warning so that he can know the consequences of his attitude. Much better if you try to ignore his/her existence.
