In life, you will always have to deal with people you're not fond of. Use this job as a way to learn how to do that, and at the same time your boss will see that you can be mature enough to handle all types of relationships. Good luck!

That's one of the most common work problems. The truth is, there are a lot of people out there that are difficult to tolerate for various reasons.
Personalities of co-workers is actually one of the qualities some experienced employees look at when evaluating job opportunities.
But, the prevailing theme to the answers of this question is pretty much on point - make the best of the situation.
I would suggest, as others have, to always remain courteous and professional. Try to avoid any discussions that could become confrontational. Of course, you probably don't agree with their positions on a lot of matters, but it may be best that they don't know that.
If nothing else, practice being a politician - always smile and keep working for the common good.
Best of luck.

Well you should definently talk to everyone at you job. Making friends with everyone is a major way to erase all hatred!!! And more than likely you dont know if they even like you or not!!!! So just hang in there and see what happens. If they dont give you a reason not to like them, then be kind!!!! That's the best way to solve a problem. But if they dont like you and mess with you all of the time, then cruch 'em!!!!! You'll know what to do when the times comes!!! I have faith that you'll do the right thing!!!! I wish you luck with this sweetie!!!
Love, Kiki

You are new, you probably just do not know the people well enough yet. Remember, it is your job to fit into the team as the new person, not the other way around.

You need to be able to communicate with everyone in your office or on your team in a polite and professional manner. You may not need to be chatty with them or become friends with them, but you need to be able to interact with them.
If you start 'snubbing' people you will most likely begin to generate animosity and cause problems.
Be nice. Be professional. You should be fine.
Good Luck.

There will always be people with whom you work that you may not like. I think it is important to be friendly to everyone, especially in a business environment. Once you begin talking with them, you may find that you have things in common. If you want to advance in your career you will need to learn to deal with all sorts of personalities.

new Jobs always mean new relationships and that means you have to get used to the new dynamics. maybe the people you dont like are afraid of change. it always takes about 6 months to get used to evryone around your new environment...I have always wound up the closest to the ones i didnt like at first... also work is where you spend most of your time so you may as well be comfy there... Ask yourself do you like your work?

At the very least, say Hi to everyone, even the ones you don't like.
