I’m not paid enough to manage my work colleague's emotional issues

The hardest part of your job is not the actually work for many people, their job is quite straightforward, in fact, you could argue they’re stealing a living. What makes their job hard is the people that they have to work with on a daily basis.

People are not difficult or weird by chance, it comes from things like their emotional well-being, upbringing, and mental health. Many people in this world are not well, sometimes it’s temporary and sometimes it’s just who they are. Although you should accept people for who they are it’s still a fucking task dealing with them.

Sometimes I feel like dealing with work colleague’s emotional states should bump up my wages a little bit. I didn’t sign up to be a shoulder to cry on for someone I hate.

Dealing with spiteful people

People are spiteful for many reasons but it shows a lack of maturity and a lack of knowledge of how to deal with certain situations. This could mean hard done by in life or in a recent situation.

Instead of talking it out with the other person, they’ll most likely talk it out with a fake work friend and this person will convince them that their spiteful behaviour is justified. Great, now they’ve got supporters rooting for their cunty behaviour.
