Have you ever had a coworker who was so rude, you literally couldn’t believe it?
It can be hard to not get flustered, defensive, or maybe just start crying lol.
Remember: rude people are rude because they are insecure. Confident, secure people are not rude.
They are talking to you the same way they talk to themselves. So do NOT take it personally. This is a classic “them problem” not a “you problem”.
Silence is sometimes the best response. But if you’d like to say something to them, try something like:
✅ “Wait, is that typically how you feel comfortable talking to people you work with…?”
Or something like,
✅ “I’m ready to hear your feedback, but only if you can do so in a professional manner.”
Rude people WANT you to get mad. So don’t give them what you want. Go scream into a pillow, cry to your therapist, or sign up for a kickboxing class to deal with your rage in a healthy way.
But don’t give them what they want: your emotional response. Do what you need to do to get your work done, shut your lap top + go home :)
You got this! 👏 #communication #careeradvice #rude #mean #bully

How to say: “nope, that’s the worst idea ever” but ~professionally~
Remember: it is normal to disagree with people at work! It’s healthy to have different opinions & doesn’t get to get weird if you want to suggest something else.
Instead of:
❌ “No ☹️”
❌ “I don’t wanna”
❌ “I’m sorry that’s the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard literally who hired you???”
❌ not saying anything because you’re a conflict avoidant people pleaser
Try something like:
✅ “I can see where you’re coming from, let me show you my thinking.”
✅ “Okay, but wait, to play devils advocate…”
✅ “Hmm, I’m not sold. What about…”
✅ “I agree that it’s ____, but what do you think about ____?”
Remember: speak to people how you would like to be spoken to👌🏼
