Let it Go, Let it Flow: 7 People You Should Pick Your Battles With

Co-Workers

At your job, you and your coworkers are relatively making the same amount, but one coworker just keeps on acting like he/she is the head honcho. They try to delegate tasks, have all these “wonderful” ideas that they want everyone to do, and if they have an opinion they are expecting you to drop yours and jump on their okie-doke. As much as you might want to cut that person down to size and remind them that besides the name on the check, both checks are identical, you might want to reassess going in this direction. Is the worker still getting their job done? Does your boss seem happy? Are you still getting paid? If the answer is yes to these questions, then who cares if this coworker is delusional? At the end of the day, if you indulge in your impulse to tell them where to put all their crap ideas, all it’s going to do is cause dissension in the work place and make the boss look at you differently.
