How to get along with a sharp-tongued straight man at work

First, if you are dealing with a sharp-tongued straight man, try not to provoke him. Once he is unreasonable, it will be difficult to talk him out, and your reputation and character may be ruined by him. So don't have a conflict, lest such a person points a gun at you, which will be a big disadvantage.

Second, if you are with such people, it is best not to gossip with them, because they may immediately pass on the information you said to others, causing some information that you don’t want others to know to be shared by such a big mouth.

Third, such people actually have no emotional intelligence and are rather rigid in their work, so you must stick to the facts at work. You cannot ignore your own rights and interests just because of the other party's intimidating aura and easily succumb to such people.

Fourth, if you work with such people, try to avoid too much contact. Generally, such people are very gossipy, so they may exaggerate even the smallest things and make a big fuss about them. So don't have too close contact with them, just do your own job well.

Can colleagues in the same department become good friends?

What is a true good friend?

All grievances and worries can be confided to each other without any scruples, and they can be honest with each other and talk about everything.

There are no conflicts of interest between each other and no one will be petty.

When either party is in trouble, the other party will provide help without hesitation.

They can complain about each other without any scruples and are not afraid of offending each other.

In my mind, only those who can do the above can be considered true good friends.

Let me ask you, in the workplace, even in the same department, is there no conflict of interest? Can you speak your mind without worrying that the other party will betray you behind your back? Can they lend you money without asking about your financial strength?

I can't do it. As long as you are in the workplace, everyone is wearing a mask and can't be their true self. If you can't even be your true self, how can you be sincere with your colleagues in the workplace and become true friends? ! Don't be silly!
