As a result, you will have to work extra to complete the task. Faced with such people, you do have to be patient.

3. Procrastinators
Colleagues, who liked to postpone the work would make it difficult to complete the task, especially when he was a post with your job. Faced with the delay, get used to remind him of the deadline, since the far-distant days, until one day in advance. If this method is not powerful enough, just submit your report on time - with or without part of her job. Write down, "Information is not available from the department of A".

4. The Thirst Competition
Competition is necessary, but not excessive. Type competitors really like to compete. He treats everything as a competition that ultimately makes you feel disturbed. So you are not bothered, be normal and not have to respond to his invitation to compete.

5. The Critic
Whatever can never escape the criticism spiciness, even trivial things and personal though, even if critics were concerned about jobs, guaranteed not constructive criticism you get.

Faced with such people, respond with calm and just say that what he says may be true, but do not give further responses. At least, this will stop gossiping.

6. Man Interruption
Now, if this one is that they can come to your table of ten times a day just to interrupt your work and told me about her date last night with his girlfriend. No need to angry or upset. If you just want to talk alone, ask her to come back during lunch hour.

Why Must Love Me to Work Together?

Love can grow anywhere, including in the workplace. Especially for singles who spend most of his time in office. Love story too, no need to stay away from work place. Nothing wrong indeed, fancy work together, But you must be careful not to hamper or even destroy the romance a career that never was built with ease.

There are good and bad side if you are involved in romance at the office. Well, you do not have to bother with the time to meet with him, because every day, you can see her in the workplace. In addition, you become more familiar with their activities.

However, if you can’t maintain relationships, romance in the workplace will only hinder you, especially if you're feeling too comfortable with them, so you no longer want to associate with other colleagues. This will allow you both to squirt and do not know the development office. Your friends will stay away.

Or, if you decide not to cover them-selves, a sense of jealousy may arise. When he did not have lunch with you, and spend time with his friends, jealousy is definitely there, have different levels in different people. Should be recognized sooner or later more relationships with colleagues will influence the working atmosphere. You may no longer feel part of one big team, but a small team with a lover. This certainly affects work productivity and professionalism.

Consider your level of position two. If he was your boss, think about it before deciding to date him. Going out with the boss would sparked envy from other colleagues. Consequently, you should be ready to work hard to prove the skill and professionalism in order not to be accused as the golden boy and he was accused of favoritism. He will also feel the dilemma if one day, he must notify that you got fired, for example.

If she and you are on my level, career competition could also lead to conflict in relationships. Are you ready to compete with your spouse? Or he's ready to see you rise to the top of it faster?

Relationships at work is not easy, therefore, many companies prohibit the marriage of the employee. This also should be a consideration both of you, especially if you and he already have a coveted position in the company now.

Conversely, if your relationship does not run smoothly, try to remain professional. Do not do anything that you regret later, like crying at the office or to tell everyone about ugliness.

Angry? Leave your job for a moment

Tight work deadlines, high demands, plus a compact group that did not work, huh, a splitter with anger, when you have this, sooner rather than complete, even endless finished job. Most people will choose it harbored anger, and forced himself to continue the work and tasks. However, this does not exactly in reality, because when you hold on to anger, any action or decision you make is often inaccurate.

There is also a direct 'explode "because of his anger, and blame on every person met. Clearly, this is much worse than the first reaction. Anger is the reaction of the body that is triggered by frustration, hurt, or worry. As anger mounted, the body will feel the stress, heart rate increased to 120-150 beats a minute, the blood from the front of the brain, which is central to logic, flowing down to protect the heart. This is what causes us less logical when struck by anger. You must have experienced, the decision or word you say when angry, then produced back in the days of regret.

If you feel that 'blood is boiling', try to control yourself not to speak or make important decisions. Instead, calm yourself first. If necessary, get out for one to two hours of every business. Is not that name to avoid responsibility? Of course not, because you committed will be back after a specified time, when you say two hours, it must be kept. Unlike when you leave your job just like that without any confirmation. Evade while to calm down much more effectively than force myself to continue the work but has not been maximized.

Then, why should be one to two hours? Is not that too long? Again, no. It takes ninety-five minutes to restore blood flow to the brain center of logic and normalize the heartbeat, so you can act normally and not be careless.

Not Drowning in Work

Often, because too seriously pursue a career establishment, someone became so absorbed in his work. No more personal life, no time to see the world other than employment. When you've started to feel uncomfortable spending the time to talk or walk with friends and always remembered the unfinished work, you may have started to 'sink'.

If you start to feel the difficulty dividing time between working with social relationships, it is better to withdraw for a moment to get their perspective to assess the most important thing in your life.

Decisive Say No

If you are often powerless to refuse an additional assignment of extra work, willing to do the tasks that other people are not willing to do that, chances are you experience a good girl syndrome in the workplace.

From the name, can be known if the fair sex who had a lot of experienced this one syndrome, People like that are those who prefer to avoid confrontation and afraid of taking risks, more obey the instructions given, and try to always humble, so they are difficult to obtain optimal success in your career.

It was influenced by environment and culture of patriarchy, which makes women are trained to always please the others around. Personality is then carried away until they are in the world of work. They never objected when given extra duties in the workplace simply because they feel uncomfortable when refused.

This syndrome must be addressed urgently, because the world's career is now more appreciative of the women who are able to make their own rules, taking a big chance in front of the eyes, and never worry about whether others will like it or not. According to Kate White, author of why Good Girls Do not Get Ahead but Gutsy Girls Do.

On the one hand, do additional tasks can enhance your career because it could provide an opportunity to gain new experiences, However, on the other hand, saying yes to every person every time they ask for help can have a negative impact for your-self. Therefore, learn to recognize when you must reject and accept when asked for assistance. Kate Lorenz, gives advice on how to say no when we do not want to do something that was asked of others:

1. Set the rules and obey the rules
Make the kind of rules for yourself about what you want and do not want to do. For example, if your position is the receptionist at the office, not a secretary, a correspondence course assignment may be rejected if you are asked to do so.

2. Sure with the chosen alternative
Be confident when you decide to say no. Do the same with courtesy and do not need to apologize for your decision to reject the request.
Do not forget to also provide a firm and clear statement of rejection. For example, by saying "I can’t help you do that job," instead of using words like "I think about it yes" or "I'm trying" In this way, other people will respect your decision.

3. Make it simple
Do not get stuck in excessive explanation. If you have already set their own rules, just let other people know about it, without the need to explain the rule at length.


Nevertheless, there is no harm in also if you occasionally do some tasks outside obligations. But do it only on certain conditions as follows:

a. The task was indeed able to develop your skills and help you to achieve the intended goals. But even this may not be done continuously. Once you've got what is needed or desired, stop doing that task again.
b. Your main task is not disrupted if the additional tasks. Do not let your main tasks of everyday becomes a mess.

Eliminate the Feeling of Weariness in the Outbound Work

Working all day will make you feel tired, even if the job is fun. Feeling tired and tired you'll feel afterward. To avoid excessive feeling tired, it helps companies conduct activities that will increase employee morale.

From various studies revealed that the employee actually kind of liked the training activities, seminars, workshops, or outbound. Moreover, if such activities are held outside the office, say like in the mountains, places of recreation, the hotel, outside the city or even overseas.

The reason of course vary, Maybe there is because they want to increase knowledge, improve skills, obtain certification of skills, expand networks, wants a new friend, want a vacation, or just because they want to enjoy a budget that has provided human resource development organization.

In addition, the company is actually humanly or leadership will be more proud, be happier and more pleased if able to send his people into a place of training, seminars or workshops. Why? Normally, people would be happier if I could give what it takes others. Especially others who were given it is a person who has been helped or worked with him.

Only, in practice only a few companies or organizations who can afford to send his men into such training, the reason for this variety, especially, the problem of funding. As a result, only certain companies or organizations are willing and able.

In addition to funds, time also becomes a problem. For some organizations or companies, virtually no time to send the men to where the training takes more than one day because of the many works in an office that must be resolved. We certainly agree that improving the skills of employees (in a broad sense) is important. How is Problem, this is needed adjustments based on our respective circumstances.

Avoid Stress at Work Movements

We must work transferred to another place, what were you thinking? You are adventurous will probably be very happy, because it will undergo new experiences in new places, but for you who prefer to live peacefully at home, probably will think several times before deciding to agree.

1. Mutation of work can’t be considered unsolicited, because, if in a hurry, you will find it difficult. Besides the stress of having to adapt the new environment, you also still bears a job that usually, the more increases.

2. Mutation load might be a little lighter if you just moved out of town, but not so when you moved to the outer islands, or even overseas. Cultural and linguistic obstacles would hinder the work if not properly addressed.

3. To avoid stress on the initial move, suppose that the mutation was working as a holiday, so you will not feel stressed when faced with different things, grow this important new idea that foreign and interesting, not a burden.

4. While at the new place, you have to do minimal research on important places such as markets, supermarkets, doctors, hospitals, schools, entertainment facilities, and the atmosphere in that place. Notice also the culture surrounding communities, as they will get along with you.

5. After feeling comfortable, it's time you really started to adapt to be able to do what you should do. Maybe all was not in accordance with earlier expectations, but there was no choice, you must finish it properly. This usually will feel a little hard, so, be patient with yourself, do not set a target of too high.

After all goes well, it's time you started to come in and be part of your neighborhood. When I first moved in, you may consider it a vacation, so no need to feel involved too much with life around. The neighbors will not even bother with your presence. But you will not be staying there for a couple of weeks, usually for months to years. Willy-nilly, you have to hang out with them.

As a newcomer, you should be able to adjust to the culture and customs. But this does not mean you have to accept whatever comes. If you feel bad, and interfere with personal and professional life, it is better to avoid. You must have the castle itself.

Do not ever compare the situation in the same place as now. Every neighborhood has a value of plus and minus own. You just run out of energy will collate and how wonderful old times. Remember that now you've been living in a new environment, and think positive.

Before moving, make the achievement of your desired schedule, as carefully and accurately as possible. With clear guidelines, you know what to do and how the most effective way to achieve it, thus minimizing the possibility of losing direction. And lastly, have fun!

Fired? Do not Give Up

Experience fired or laid off from work all of a sudden is a painful experience. But do not necessarily buried in guilt or feeling worthless. When one door closes, another door will open soon, if we want it. To form the positive thoughts, see the following some points:

1. Do not assume that the dismissal as a personal rejection, because it had nothing to do with your personality. Suppose that the moment you are in the wrong place and time, and the job does not suit you. With the move from the place, then you are ready to welcome a new job that you really want.

Incompatibility is one part of life that occurs in all places and circumstances, especially in the highly competitive world of work. Maybe all this time you still hesitate to decide to leave the job or not, but now, no longer makes you hesitate. It is time for you to achieve a dream job.

2. Lamenting the situation will not make things better. Do not be rude or angry. By being nice, at least, you could get a letter of recommendation.

3. Do not break contact. Permanent keep good relations with former colleagues, bosses, and even, the personnel office. Fixed network is required. One time, maybe you have the opportunity to work again with them.

4. Find reasons for your dismissal. If that's your mistake, learn from that. If not from you, learn from the situation.

5. When did you feel depressed, let your body and your soul to rest for a few days. After that, come back excited.

6. Do not ever expect to immediately occupy high positions, except if the company belongs to your father. Get used to pursue a career from scratch. Enjoy the journey as one of the most exciting things in your life.

7. Think 'outside the box'. Develop yourself, do not just limited to the areas of your field of work. Mingling with people outside the work environment will make your inner richer, wider society, and indirectly expand the network.

8. Do not hesitate to ask help from family, friends, or even a former colleague to help you get jobs.

9. Remains confident.
