I feel like I am getting closer to my dream job and that I am moving in the right direction.<br \/>\nHowever, there is one problem\u2014I really dislike someone I work with. It seems impossible to get along with her, and unfortunately, we have a lot of projects and work assignments we have to complete for our job. I am trying really hard to ignore her, and just focus on doing our tasks, but she\u2019s so irritating.<br \/>\nI\u2019m worried that we\u2019re not going to be able to get work done and be productive. It feels like she constantly is nagging me or throwing me under the bus when it is actually her problem.<br \/>\nI don\u2019t know how much longer I can take it. I don\u2019t want to give it up, but she really irritates me. It\u2019s starting to affect my work, and I don\u2019t want to lose focus just because of her.<br \/>\nWhat should I do? Should I talk to my boss about my coworker\u2019s behavior, or should I ignore her? I\u2019m almost to the point of quitting, any advice?<br \/>\nSincerely, <\/p>\n<p>Coworker Trouble<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Dear Coworker Trouble, <\/p>\n<p>Believe me, everyone experiences this. It\u2019s such a tough situation too, because you want to accomplish your goals, but when you have an enemy at work, its hard to focus.<br \/>\nI don\u2019t know the whole story or the issues that are really at hand, but I think it\u2019s important to stay focused on the task and do your best. You can\u2019t control her, but you can control yourself. So, if you make sure you\u2019re doing your best, then that\u2019s all you can really do.<br \/>\nFrom what you\u2019ve said, I would say try to stick it out. Get stubborn and show her that you can overcome her attitude problems.<br \/>\nI guarantee you will come across so many people you dislike at your job and in life. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s good to just run away from it because it\u2019s frustrating.<br \/>\nIf you feel like it\u2019s worth it to talk to her, then take the step to meet with her to talk about how you can make it work. Personally, I sometimes feel like that just creates more issues.<br \/>\nI think if you can focus on yourself and make your work ethic stronger, then that\u2019s all you need to worry about. You\u2019re going to have learn to work with people you dislike, but the sooner you learn that and find ways to overcome those problems, it\u2019ll help you in the long run. <\/p>\n<p>Good luck,<br \/>\nGabby<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Gabby, I have been at my job for about 2 months, and I love it so much!
