How do you navigate a workplace where people constantly interrupt or talk over you? Was there a moment when you finally decided to call it out?

This happens on my team a lot & it’s 1 specific individual doing the interrupting. What I do is start to talk louder when I hear them interrupting & just continue talking until I finish what I need to say. Maybe it’s passive aggressive but I’ll keep doing it until they get the hint.

Oh totally! I’m sure they’ll get the hint if that keeps happening!

“I’m almost finished speaking if you don’t mind.” Or like the other response just keep going. I assure you everyone knows they are the issue.

This is a good one! I think it’s good to be a bit blunt with it too
