When a coworker repeatedly oversteps (giving you orders, changing your work without asking) how do you address it without starting a war?

Call it out immediately. Quiet resentment just fuels chaos. Respect your own boundaries.

I would call out the behavior sooner rather than later. Sometimes people only need to be called out once and the behaviors stop. If it doesn't stop then I would talk to your manager.

Oof, that’s such a tricky balance. When it’s happened to me, I’ve tried to keep it calm but clear. Framing it as a workflow thing rather than a personal issue can help keep the tone neutral while still setting a boundary.
