How do you handle difficult coworkers that you are required to work with?

I do my best to avoid them as much as possible. You can be polite to people you don't like and still manage to work with them just fine. I have an office mate that I find to be very annoying but we are pleasant and polite and respect each other, even if we don't necessarily like each other.

I guess it depends. What are they doing that bothers you so much?

Always try with positive mindset .

Why are they difficult that really changes what our response should be. Are you difficult or they?

I feel like I need more information. I know in the past I have tried to work around unhelpful coworkers when I can. I’ve never been beyond throwing someone under the bus for not pulling their own weight though.

I try to make sure I have another meeting (or at least block my calendar) so if I do have to meet with them, there’s a hard cutoff time

There are a lot of tricks one can do with one's calendar to defend against annoying coworkers. I sometimes schedule meetings, which are really with myself. Some of the ideas I present to myself at those meetings are important, so I hold the meetings sacrosanct.

It happens at every jobs, can’t really avoid it. You just have to learn to work around it. Document everything, just to be safe.

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?
