M: Hey Sandra, what’s wrong? You look furious!
W: I’ve had it with Tim! I think I’m going to quit!
M: But Sandra, you love your job! You spent months trying to get this position. It’s perfect for you!
W: Yeah...I know. But I’m sick and tired of all the office power struggles!
M: What kind of power struggles are you talking about?
W: Basically, I think Tim is threatened by me. I’m doing a better job than he is, so he’s trying to spoil my career!
M: So he talks about you behind your back?
W: Yes. He’s all nice and friendly to my face. But the second I turn around he stabs me in the back!
M: You know I had a coworker like that once. She was always taking credit for my ideas. After a while I learned to document my work very clearly so the boss knew 100% that this was my work.
W: That’s a good idea. I should keep a better record of my correspondence with the clients so if necessary I can prove it was my effort.
M: Well like you said earlier, he might feel threatened by you. He sees you as a rising star and he’s afraid you’ll shine brighter than he’ll. Some people don’t know how to react in situations like that.
W: I don’t hate Tim.(2 - 3)He’s not totally bad: in fact he’s pretty clever sometimes. I just hate all the office power struggles!
M: Unfortunately every workplace has its wars for power. That’s how the game is played.
W: Maybe I need to toughen up. You know that old saying: "If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. "
M: Maybe. But have you tried talking to Tim about this?
W: No, I’m not really a confrontational person.
M: Well, why don’t you give it a shot?(4)Use unemotional language and just be very clear and firm about how you feel. Tell him about the things you like about his work ethic and then tell him the areas you don’t like.
W: That’s a pretty good idea.
M: And remember, it takes two to tango. You can’t have a power struggle without two people, at least two people. You can choose to participate or not.
W: You make some good points.
M: The next time Tim cuts you down in a meeting, don’t react. Just let his comments hang there and people will see how petty he’s being.
W:(5-1)I guess I have to remember that all of us are humans and humans have egos and will lash out when threatened.
M:(5 - 2)That’s right! Sometimes I think our office is pretty much like the zoo. We’re just office apes!
W: That’s a funny thought! Thanks for your advice, David. I feel better already.
M: You’re very welcome! See you tomorrow!
