10 Tips for Dealing With Coworkers

The idea to write this came from some brief coworker interaction this morning.

This building is filled with people from all walks of life. There are those that I share likes and passions with, but then there are those that I am the complete opposite of. Both ways are completely fine, it's all in how you act and react.

So right away this morning I made a comment on a Facebook page of a coworker, and she came right in my office and we had a good laugh. We are from completely different backgrounds, and besides being in radio we don't really do the same things around here. There's a passion we share, a drive to do the best we can and have fun while we are doing it.

So if you like a coworker or not, how do you deal with them? Believe me I have worked with some interesting characters. My attitude has changed greatly about how to deal with coworkers in the last year of so.
