take your passive agressiveness and shove it!

Call me a dreamer but I honestly believe that most employees, including us HR people, come to work each day with the expectation to do good work and accomplish something meaningful. There's nothing worse than having to deal with a colleague who is passive aggressive. What sort of good does it do to say "Oh I wish someone would have bothered to tell me that". It's lame and makes you look bad.

So, take this heart. If something bothers you at work, be direct about it with the person. There's a big difference between being direct and confrontational. Learning this will make you a trusted & valued colleague and a leader.

Seriously people, life is too short to be a jerk at work. It doesn't matter if you work to live or live to work. In the immortal words of Ali G - "Respect!"
