What do you do when working with someone who is controlling & passive aggressive? They don’t yell, they just belittle and try to find fault-even when there is none. Is there a communication strategy?

understand that they don't really matter. Whenever they start belittling you just 'uh-huh' them, and if they bitch about other people to you bring up things that are good about them. Like when they say 'man John didn't do this well or he looks lazy or w/e' just dont even acknowledge it and just talk about how nice he is or how he gets along with the client well. You just have to not engage with these type of people.

Their questions made me realize how green some of them are. The Qs were oriented around conducting social justice in the workplace or environmental activism. Like bruh you do PPT and Excel all day.

I cringe at this attitude towards the workplace by students, anyone else relate or am I being negative?
