What do you guys do when you're forced to work alongside a uber-negative person? I'm currently forced to and could be handling it better.
One of the people on my current project struts around the office always saying how hard he's working (when he's actually watching football or something on the internet) and is just a constant stream of complaints - everything from "I don't sleep well..." to "My sister thinks I'm too sensitive." And yes, this is a grown man whom I've only known for about six weeks. I don't want to know those things!
I've tried my best to limit our interactions, but reached my breaking point today when his whining impeded me from doing my job. I yelled. LOUDLY. I felt terrible about losing my temper but I just couldn't take it anymore. I felt like I was reprimanding a three-year old. I was so embarrassed other people were around but couldn't bring myself to apologize.
Should I say sorry for raising my voice? I refuse to apologize for the actual words because he was really screwing my stuff up and put me about an hour off schedule.
What to do?
