You are in fact the drama
Imagine someone tagging her workplace as toxic because her colleagues refused to patronize her human hair pop shop
Hello Buddy,
If there’s anything I’ve learned on these corporate streets, it’s that some people don't actually understand the meaning of the word "Toxic”.
Often times, when you hear why some folks think their workplace is toxic, you realize it’s just because things didn’t go their way.
Imagine someone tagging her workplace as toxic because her colleagues refused to patronize her human hair pop shop after her boss reprimanded her for selling during work hours.
This lady went ahead to say a lot of colorful words about her colleagues but the one that stood out for me was, “Enemies of progress".
Truth is, sometimes, you are the drama and you don't even know it. You seem to have a difficult relationship with everyone at work. Apparently, everyone is either incompetent, dumb, or 'oversabi' except YOU.
Still confused? Here are a few signs that YOU MIGHT BE THE DRAMA
You think you're smarter than everyone at work. How did they get hired then? How do they achieve their goals or KPIs? If everyone around you seems to be so unbearably stupid all the time, then you might be the drama.
Even though you have people to support you, you prefer doing everything by yourself because nobody does it better than you right? You are definitely the drama.
You believe by default that colleagues who get along with your bosses and superiors are ass-kissers and you’re better than them. Oh dear cynical grandstander, your attitude might be giving “adversarial” vibes, and no one wants to work with someone they suspect doesn’t like them.
You always say “It’s not my job”. Look, leave all these LinkedIn articles o. In real life, it's okay to say no to tasks that are way out of your JD especially when you have a lot to do. However, there are times when all hands need to be on deck, and saying no to tasks at those crucial times may paint you as a difficult person.
You're the potential Naysayer in the team: Every time someone comes up with an idea in the team, or your boss assigns a project to you, you always have 100 reasons why it’s impossible or why it can’t be done. Consistently playing the devil’s advocate at work will do you no good.
Have you always disliked all your managers and superiors? Like all of them? I suggest you look within and ask yourself some questions.
Chances are if everyone around you seems to be such a pain in the ass, then there’s most likely a problem with YOU.
So correct me if I’m wrong…ARE YOU THE DRAMA?
