<\/p>\nHello, everyone.<\/p>\n
This is Enta.<\/p>\n
Don't you have someone like this at your company?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1. Talking about your previous job or past achievements<\/span><\/p>\n 2. Being overbearing toward younger colleagues and refusing to teach them how to do their jobs<\/span><\/p>\n 3. Have others or junior colleagues handle routine tasks<\/span><\/p>\n 4. Failing to read the room and standing out for the wrong reasons<\/span><\/p>\n 5. Do not actively take on tasks you do not understand (I will not take responsibility for them)<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Attitude<\/strong>: Every time we talk, he keeps bringing up the past\u2014saying things like, \u201cBack when I worked on that project\u2026\u201d\u2014and hardly ever mentions his current job.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Countermeasures<\/strong>: First, offer a light compliment like, \u201cThat\u2019s impressive,\u201d and then bring the conversation back to the current topic by asking, \u201cHow can you apply that to your current workplace?\u201d Attitude<\/strong>\"Don't you even know that?\" they say in a threatening tone, without explaining the specific steps.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Countermeasures<\/strong>: Instead of vaguely asking, \u201cPlease teach me,\u201d ask a specific question like, \u201cI just want to confirm this part of the process,\u201d to make it easier to answer. (Generally, people who ask this way tend to have limited vocabulary and poor communication skills.) Attitude<\/strong>: Leaving cleaning and tidying up to younger colleagues and not doing it myself.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Countermeasures<\/strong>: Clearly define team rules such as \u201crotating responsibilities for administrative tasks\u201d and \u201csharing the workload among everyone.\u201d When supervisors or team leaders assign roles, it reduces the sense that tasks are being forced onto individuals.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Attitude<\/strong>: During meetings or breaks, they\u2019re the only one who speaks loudly or brags about unrelated things.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Countermeasures<\/strong>\"When you assign a role and place someone in a position of responsibility by saying, 'Mr.\/Ms. XX, I'd like you to handle this matter,' it can actually help them feel more at ease.\"<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Attitude<\/strong>They dodge the issue by saying, \u201cThat\u2019s not my responsibility,\u201d or \u201cI don\u2019t know, so ask someone else.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Countermeasures<\/strong>: Assign a small task and set a clear boundary by saying, \u201cPlease just do this much.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n While repeated success tends to boost their motivation to participate, they are generally reluctant to take risks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n First, I\u2019ll give a quick thumbs-up, then move on to the main topic (to ease that need for approval just a little bit, lol).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Ask specific questions (since some people may not understand, check with them several times).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Create a system as a team to prevent this (don\u2019t let one person handle it alone; prevent isolation)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Give them a position of responsibility to change their behavior (it gets trickier as they get older)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Build on Small Successes (If the Condition Is Already Severe...)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n That said, dealing with people like this is really a hassle.<\/span><\/p>\n People who only think about themselves and want everyone to focus solely on them are a huge nuisance.<\/span><\/p>\n If I succeed, it's because of me; if I fail, it's someone else's fault.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Once you enter the workforce, you'll have to deal with weird old guys and old ladies like this.<\/span><\/p>\n Still, I guess that\u2019s part of learning about society, huh? lol (Hell)<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I think it\u2019s part of a site supervisor\u2019s job\u2014and a foreman\u2019s job\u2014to skillfully handle people like this.<\/span><\/p>\n Just be careful, though\u2014people who are all talk and lack the necessary skills will eventually be weeded out.<\/span><\/p>\n If you're going to say it, do it! If you can't do it, don't say it!<\/span><\/p>\n Don't brag about your past job (it's the most annoying thing in the world)<\/span><\/p>\n Be open to asking for advice from people younger than you (being open-minded makes you likable)<\/span><\/p>\n Tackling routine tasks as if they were your own (being capable at work)<\/span><\/p>\n Blends in naturally while reading the room (has a good sense of the situation)<\/span><\/p>\n A commitment to continuing to learn even after work (with the goal of eventually becoming the most knowledgeable person)<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n What do you want to become?<\/span><\/p>\n If you visualize the person you want to become, you might just find yourself getting closer to that goal little by little!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Let's make a conscious effort to do this!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n See you later.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello, everyone.

<\/p>\nHow to Deal with Colleagues Who \"Only Talk About Their Past Glories and Intimidate Junior Colleagues\"<\/h1>\n
1. Talking only about their previous job or past achievements<\/h2>\n
\n
\nIf you don't bring them back, you'll be stuck listening to their pointless tales of bravery forever, so you need to deal with this quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n2. Being overbearing toward younger colleagues and juniors and refusing to teach them how to do their jobs<\/h2>\n
\n
\nIt\u2019s also effective to establish rules for sharing information within the team.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n3. Passing off menial tasks onto others<\/h2>\n
\n
\n4. Failing to read the room and standing out for the wrong reasons<\/h2>\n
\n
\n5. Don't take on tasks you don't understand<\/h2>\n
\n
\n\u2705 People like this tend to \u201ccling to the past\u201d and have a \u201cstrong desire for approval.\u201d
The key to handling this is,<\/h2>\n\n
