How would you handle a conflict with a coworker?

I just don't let them bother me. Some people get off on having drama in their lives, I just try to be far away from that.

It depends on the type of conflict. If it is a personality difference then you have to learn how to accept each other and not get sidetracked by thinking something is wrong all the time. If it is real conflict where someone has done something to hurt the other person, then it is best to talk to that person in private to try and resolve it.

If that doesn't work and it is affecting your ability to get your job done, then talk to your immediate advisor/supervisor for input in how to resolve it.

That can be difficult, but it mostly depends on the coworker, of course. When I started working in an IT firm, I had small conflicts with a coworker, but he worked there for 10 years so it wouldn't be smart to do much about it. I never said anything directly to him about it, but I guess he saw it in my eyes, because just after a few days he started to apologize and wanted to start over.

That's why I know he's actually a good person and it was just a misunderstanding. People are usually good in their "soul", if you believe in such a concept, and if not... they are good in nature, then. :)You have to be careful when it comes to your job, but... you might need to let that coworker be aware that you won't stand it or accept it as it is at the moment, that might solve most of the problems.

Of course, for some people that's not nearly enough, but I don't think there is much more you can do, depending on the conflict, of course, if it's too serious, you should always consult your boss about it, in a diplomatic way at first.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
