2. Turn to White Noise.
3. Avoid Gossip.
4. Breathe, Laugh and Be Positive.

How do you tell a coworker they are annoying?

Say something like: “Our working relationship is important to me, and there’s something on my mind—can I talk to you about it?” If it’s a bad time, you don’t want to choose this moment for your chat; if it’s a good time, you’ve signaled your collaborative intent.

How can you tell a suck-up at work?

How to know if someone in your team is a suck-up:

2. No one engages with what they say in meetings.
3. They work well but their impact is very limited.
4. They stay more with you than with their peers.
5. They seek your approval for everything they do.
6. They cc you in all their emails.

How do you set boundaries with toxic coworkers?

Focus on positive gossip that celebrates others instead of participating in negative gossip that hurts morale. Communicate your boundaries letting them know you don’t like to talk about office politics. Surround yourself with people who would rather share knowledge than spread gossip.
