Tami’s Answer

I think it's important to try your best to get along with people. Anywhere you go there will be people you don't like, and who may not like you. The important part, especially in the workplace, is to be cordial and focus on the task at hand. If you have no reason to be around someone you don't like, then by all means, stay away from them. I think it's very important to set boundaries. Be polite as much as you can, but don't let people take advantage of you. Don't rock the boat, but don't tolerate behavior from others that makes you uncomfortable.

Zuzana’s Answer

Hi Brandie,

I assume you are asking in the professional sense. Getting along with colleagues is something people have to work on everyday. Someone is more easy-going, while other people are more formal.


What I'm trying to say is, that you can't get along with everyone around you 100% of the time.  A conflict can be beneficial if handled in a constructive way.


I personally learnt a lot in the field of professional tension and conflict. Even working relationships are built on compromise. The thing I work hard to remember every time, is to stay as cool as possible, analyze, communicate and learn for the next time.


Have great day

Zuzana recommends the following next steps:

Stay as cool as possible - breathe.
Analyze the situation to understand other opinions.
Communicate. Sometimes issues arise from a misunderstanding.
State your opinion clearly and focus on solution.
