Please tell me what to do... how to cope?

Question

I can't take it.... remember the idiot co-worker I told you about? The one that annoys the holy blank out of me? He is still doing the same stuff, I go to put something into the copier and he beats me to it, I take my stuff out of the copier, he shakes his head back and forth. He is still playing his boon box and there is overhead company music on, so you get a double combo of music to listen to. I am asking God for patience but I am losing it! What would you guys do? I'll take anything, oh and remember, he is a suck up, so telling the boss won't help. Thanks in advance xoxo

Answer 1

You have started in the right direction by asking God for patience. The best thing you can do is give it over to God.

He will NEVER leave you nor forsake you.
God actually said in everything give thanks.I know personally
that is extremely hard to do at times.
Believe that god will help you through this and i guarantee
he will.
I will also pray for you to have strength.

On the worldly side, i have found that if you ignore him
(as much as possible) he will get tired of picking on you.
Just smile,if you can every time this person acts out
and don`t let him see it bothers you.

If it gets to a point of harassment you should go to Human
Resources and let them know.Let them know you feel
uncomfortable and intimidated by this person.Let HR
know you feel like your in a Hostile work environment.

Last but not Least. PRAY!!!

Welcome back!

I don't know the previous stories, so will base my answer only of what you have provided in this question.

I would clearly politely ask him to turn his radio off or down if it is disturbing. If he declined, I would be ready to from polite to much more direct.

The copier business I would have to know more context, but for now I might shake that off.

We have a guy like that at work and we are all respectable and friendly to a point. But there are times he gets the message when he has come into a room and clears it. You hate to gang up on someone like that, but if other co-workers feel the same as you than this clown will figure it out.

Hang in there

Answer 3

Situations like this are trivial and petty compared to some really heated trials and tribulations.....right now you're just being "tested" and getting your character molded.....this is when the true colors of a believer become prominent.....I know he's a really annoying rascal but you also need to remember the universal law of God--"you reap what you sow", and it's a law that NEVER changes.....the impolite and selfish traits that he is exhibiting towards you (especially your being a princess of the Most High) WILL eventually come back to bite him in the as$ just as maliciously as he is acting towards you.....just humble yourself during this time with the peace and love of the Creator, and He WILL exalt you in due time if you don't become weary.....hang in there baby girl, your redemption draws near.....at least you're not unjustifiably doing a year of prison time like I have done--talk about some INTENSE character molding! And the woman behind it all later encountered some incredibly worse situations than I was in! It was reading the Book of Job that inspirationally helped me make it through my incarcerational period; read it if you ever get the chance--EVERY believer is gonna go through some type of molding, refining and character-building experience.....and this is not when God is the farthest away from us, but actually the closest, because we are in His hands as He is personally molding us in the areas that we are lacking in life.....and yes, you can take it--you can do all things because He gives you the strength to do so.....at least you're not being whipped, beat and about to get hung on a cross to die for no reason at all.....I got a feeling that everything is gonna be alright.....straight up sentiments, and His blessings, strength and patience upon you.....

Take it to the sheets, fight, and remember leave the gun, take the canoli. It's your workplace too, you don't have to settle for this bull, find an ali and run with it. Sorry for the blatant Godfather references, I'm in a mood.

Answer 5

If it were me, I would start looking for another job while I put up with shitty co-worker's behavior. When you do find another job, be sure to give two weeks notice and ask for recommendation letter if you can. Good luck.

Answer 6
