You’ll probably find a coworker’s routines annoying at some point in your career because, well, you’re human. Here is what you need to do.
Tell a colleague about the issue.
For instance, try taking the following tack if a coworker is playing music loudly: I want to have a quick conversation with you.
I’m sorry to bother you, but the level of your music significantly interferes with my ability to work. Is it possible for us to find a solution to this issue?
Come to an agreement.
If personality conflicts are the main source of your argument with a coworker, try to find areas where you can both agree or that you share.
One method to work on this phase is to inquire about the person’s interests or pets. By identifying points of agreement, some conflict can be reduced.
Focus on obtaining the solution.
Managers listen to complaints all day long. Your issue might only be heard by one person if you bring it to the office.
Try to focus on finding a solution rather than complaining. Put it in a positive light, specifically.
