Your Co-Workers Are Immature  Heres How to Deal

Your Co-Workers Are Immature â€"  Here's How to Deal If you think the people you work with sometimes act less like professionals than like spoiled children, you’re not too far off. A new survey from CareerBuilder finds that 77% of workers have experienced some form of childish behavior in the workplace. “It’s not so surprising,” career coach Roy Cohen says of the survey’s findings. “People are working long hours, and sometimes when you work long hours, you need to blow off some steam.” Cohen also suggests that the influx of millennials into the workplace may have ushered in a corresponding drop in maturity levels (millennials themselves might take issue with this characterization). CareerBuilder finds that whining seems to be the most common juvenile behavior, with 55% of respondents encountering it on the job. Up next is that other childhood staple of displeasure: pouting, which 46% of workers say they’ve witnessed in their co-workers. Other common offenses, each reported by about a third of respondents, include playing pranks, making faces behind people’s backs, forming cliques, and starting rumors. It might be frustrating to feel like you’re surrounded by people with the social skills of your average Frozen fan, but you don’t necessarily want to go running to your boss or HR every time you witness a tantrumâ€"especially since 44% of respondents say they’ve seen co-workers tattle on fellow employees. So how should you respond? Career experts suggest asking yourself the following questions: Does it fit with the culture? Some workplace cultures have a higher tolerance for pranks, swearing, and other bad behavior than others. You could find yourself swimming upstream if your expectations for workplace behavior aren’t in line with the way most employees behave. Is it just annoying? For behavior like snickering, eye-rolling, and making faces, the same advice you got in elementary school is still your best bet: Ignore it. While nobody likes sitting next to the person who whines or gossips all day long, these types of infractions probably aren’t really disrupting your work, and they’re annoyances for which you often can find a workaround. “There may be a way to resolve the situation on its own, such as by moving where you sit or wearing headphones to drown the person out,” says CareerBuilder chief human resources officer Rosemary Haefner. Can you address it yourself? Remember when your mom would tell you to settle petty childhood disputes yourself? True, nobody likes confronting a pouter, rumor-starter, clique “queen bee,” or other adolescent throwback, but going up the corporate ladder should be your last option, not your first. “Try approaching that person one on one,” Haefner says. “Calmly, without passing judgment, explain how his or her behavior is affecting your ability to work.” Sometimes it doesn’t dawn on people that they’re being a jerk or hurting others’ feelings until someone points it out to them. Close Modal DialogThis is a modal window. This modal can be closed by pressing the Escape key or activating the close button. Is the behavior disruptive to business functions? If so, you should document the specific behavior before going to your boss or HR. “Be able to provide examples of how this behavior is having a negative impact on your work,” Haefner says. It’s important to keep things professional and avoid personal accusations or attacks, she says. Even a legitimate complaint about childish behavior, if delivered the wrong way, can make you look like the problem. Is it harassment or bullying? There are times when a culture of bad behavior can be toxic. Being on the receiving end of unwanted sexual advances, racial or sexual epithets, being touched inappropriately or physically threatened are all examples of extreme bad behavior for which you might have corporateâ€"and maybe even legalâ€"recourse. “Read your employer’s policy manual to know the rules and how issues are managed,” Cohen advises. “You may be surprisedâ€"there may be a protocol already in place” for dealing with your concern, he says. Can anyone else be your advocate? If the childish outbursts are coming from your bossâ€"and especially if they’re aimed squarely at youâ€"you might want to consider if there’s another senior-level employee who you can talk to about the situation. This is also an option if you’re not sure HR will be able to handle your concerns effectively and in confidence. A senior employee with more experience might have some insight or knowledge that can help you deal with the issue, Cohen says. If they agree that there’s a problem that needs to be addressed, having them in your corner can be a big help, he adds. “Having someone who’s more senior also complain carries more weight.” Read next: Can I Opt Out of My Office’s Team-Building Activities?

Who Does What How My Wife And I Divvy Up Chores When We Both Work At Home

Who Does What How My Wife And I Divvy Up Chores When We Both Work At Home For most of human history, the who does what of housework welches pretty clearly spelleuchtdiode out, with gender determining each freunds specific role and contributions. Thankfully, thats (mostly) no longer the world we live in, but theres still no rule book for helping partners figure out how to divvy up household chores the physical, mental,andemotional ones in a way thats fair and equitable.So, what does the division of household chores for modern couples look like, really? In FGBs Who Does What series, we asked couples to complete an exercise in order to share with us the amount and nature of housework they actually do, and how they decided to divvy it all up.--NameJohn Shieldsmith, Founder of The Thrifty DadLocation Taylor, TXRelationship status MarriedWhat type of home (e.g, condo, house) do you have?HouseDo you have any kids or pets? One two-year-old, two catsHow long have you and yur partner been to gether? Six yearsHow long have you been living together? Five years--What chores do you do daily, and how did you and your partner decide youd be the one to do them? Please describe.I feed the cats first thing in the morning. This has always been my responsibility, as I brought them into our relationship, and I tend to wake up early so its a great fit. I also feed them at night before bed, since I tend to go to bed last as wellIn the mornings, if time permits and I can do so without waking our son, I will also take care of loading or unloading the dishwasher. This isnt something Im always able to get to, so it does fall on my wife at times.Ill also make breakfast for my family in the morning if time permits. Even if Im in a bit of a time crunch, I will happily whip up a quick batch of scrambled eggs for out little guy if hes askingI work remotely while my wife is a full-time stay at home mom, so during lunch breaks I almost always fix lunch for the family. This was never formally di scussed, I simply stepped in and started doing it to help take one thing off her plate while she watches our son.Once my work shift ends around 430-5pm, I take over parenting duties and watch our son, spend quality time with him, and all that that entailsSeeing as Im generally the night shift parent, I handle most of our sons baths as well. This wasnt formally discussed but came about naturally as my wife used evenings for chores, workouts, and so on, and I watched our little guy. Bath times in the evening just make senseIve also started taking over diaper changes that arise in the middle of the night. Waking up on the fly is one of my few gifts, so this task simply made senseLastly, I am generally the one to mow the lawn when it needs to be done. My wife will occasionally mow if she wants to mix things up, but its usually on meWhat chores do you do weekly and/or monthly, and how did you and your partner decide youd be the one to do them? Please describe.I handle the litterbox chang es for the cats. Again, this seemed only fair as I was the one who brought them into our relationship.My wife will gather the trash together from our bathroom trashcans, and then I will take the trash out to the can and down to the curb on garbage day. This was again, not formally discussed, but something we just kind of fell into on our own. My wife was pregnant when we first moved into our home, so I handled trash primarily then as well. I think me still taking the trash out is a habit at this pointHow about your partner? What chores do they do daily, and how did they and/or you decide theyd do them?My wife is a stay at home mother, so her plate is really full as is. Throughout the day she will tidy up as much as our toddler permits.Beyond that, she handles the dishes and laundry most nights while I take over as the full-time dad. Im fortunate enough to work remotely, so I get to help out with little things throughout the day. We very quickly decided that her having the nights to do chores, workout, and pursue hobbies was ideal for her health and allowed me to have some quality one-on-one time with our son.What chores does your partner do weekly and/or monthly, and how did they and/or you decide theyd do them?Shes always the one to make aya all of the bedspreads and sheets are washed for each room, and that each bed is made. She worked at an inn as her first job, so part of the reason she does this is habit and nostalgia. Im also terrible at making the bed. (Fun fact we were married at that very inn years later)Is the way you and your partner divide tasks similar to the household you grew up in? Why or why notNot particularly. My dad worked a lot when I was little, so my mom was the one who handled most day-to-day tasks. On the weekends my dad would be the one to handle the mowing, but both of my parents would get their hands dirty in the garden.Again, its really tough to judge, as my dad was on second shift for much of my childhood. This fact was a big fact or in me pursuing remote work, as I wanted to make it a point to be home with my family as often as possible.Whats something you and your partner could improve on when divvying up and completing household tasks? Whats something you feel youre doing well?Something we still need work on but have improved on in recent months is time management. Being remote, its really easy for us to get lost in spending time together. This isnt a bad thing, but it has led to us making poor use of our time occasionally, which results in chores falling to the wayside and added stress.Communication is something we definitely excel at. We learned very early on in our relationship that resolutions can only be found when problems are voiced. This point was truly put to the test when our son was born, as we were tired, stressed, and tired. Communicating what we needed was paramount to us keeping it together during those early months.Lightning Round1. Who makes the bed?My lovely wife2. When you go out to eat, who picks the restaurant and/or makes the reservation?Its almost always me (she laughed when I read this question)3. Who makes doctors appointments? Dentist appointments?Me4.
