Dealing with power-crazy people in the workplace
THE workplace is where you spend most of your waking hours, and as such the time spent should not only be productive but enjoyable.
There are persons, however, who dread going to work not because of the high-stress nature of the job, but because they have to interact with individuals at the workplace whose agenda it is to make life a living hell.
It would appear that while the rest of us put on our uni-forms/working clothes ready for a good day at work, these people put on their battle gear and their war paint ready for combat. They are convinced in their minds that they are God’s gift to the company/ institution and that they have the sole right to belittle and intimidate everyone - particularly those who are lower in rank or position.
These power-crazy people would tell you that the workplace is not a place for cowards and wimps, and that it is quite in order for them to shout at you or use expletives in order for them to fully express themselves. Whereas one would agree that the place of work is for mature adults, it is for the same reason that adults should not be treated like children and should be accorded the respect that an adult deserves, regardless of one’s emotional and psychological fortitude or lack thereof.
