Unfortunately, a colleague in this new company, who is just a graduate, is very dominant and try to control everything. I don't feel confortable, but don't know what to do? I appreciate if you could tell me what should I do?
I alway collect some useful articles from My Career. A article "Control Freaks" on Satuday, February 5 2011 The Age (My Career) may help you to deal with these kind of people (in the following). I found it would be useful, but I haven't practically tried it.
"If Power plays pague your office, don't despair, resolutions can be reached, Writes Mary Casey"
Few questions it asks: "Is that manipulative boss or work colleague turing your days into a series of battles before your summer holiday glow has even faded? Do you think that resolving the issue is near impossible?" What do you think about the questions?
"Manipulative behaviour is rife in workplaces. If you are on the receiving end, behavioural strategies based on assertiveness and setting boundaries can ensure you are never a target." Tell me what do you think about this paragraph? If you think it worth to read on, please response this post, and I'll type the whole content of the article in this forum in case you could not find it anywhere!
cheers,
