The Passive-Aggressive Co-Worker
Part 1
by Susan Dunn

Page: 1 2 3

Is there anything worse? Is there any office without one? I doubt it and I doubt it. So what do you do when you're faced with The Passive-Aggressive Co-Worker?

First of all, understand they're playing mind games with you. If the sign that you're dealing with a paranoid person is that you get paranoid, the sign that you're dealing with a passive-aggressive person is that you get angry. Not a quick, clean, clear anger, as you would with someone who confronted you directly. It's a cloudy sort of emotion that starts slowly. Often, in fact, you'll be curious about the person.

Why? Because part of being "passive" is being "hidden," and so your curiosity is peaked, but not for long. Soon you discover how toxic it is to deal with this person.

What sort of jobs do they have? Quite often, frankly, it's a job that's rather low on the totem pole, but one, nevertheless, that has power. Also they are often entrenched, dug in like a tick. They have been there "forever," or may have some special ties to the boss or manager.

They have some sort of protected status, or tenure, which allows them to stay where they are when no one likes them or wants to work with them. If it's any consolation, they generally aren't promoted, being unpromotable, but this only adds to the negativity that feeds their passive-aggression.

An example would be the Supply Clerk in a law firm. They're responsible for "special" supplies -- such as when a trial notebook is needed -- and are often also in charge of assembling it.

This puts them in a very powerful position, as they can stall your work just at the time it's needed most. You can really hit a brick wall if your boss is unaware or unconcerned, or if they're the one who keeps the P-A person on staff.

Trying to ingratiate yourself to the P-A person rarely works. They usually aren't truly friendly people, so they may let you try, but it doesn't lead to real cooperation, nor will it solve your problem.

Here Are Some Things You Can Try:

1. Start documentation. Note that you've asked them to do something and then make the paper trail. At least in that way, if the project fails, your supervisor or boss will see where the problem was.
