Have to Work with a Person You Don’t Like? Ask Madeleine
文│ Madeleine
 
親愛的瑪德蓮：
我的工作團隊裡有個人──我的同儕──和我合不來，坦白說，我實在受不了這個人，她自以為無所不知，老是不斷在講話，而且聲音實在太大了。她老是掛在電話上（不一定是因為工作所需），絮絮叨叨，不斷評論自己手上正在做的事情。我們在她背後的這些人全都盯著她看──那個場景其實很有趣──但她實在是太討人厭了！
Dear Madeleine,
There is a person on my team—a peer of mine—who rubs me the wrong way. Frankly, I just can’t stand her.
She is a know-it-all, she talks incessantly, and she’s way too loud. She is constantly on the phone (not really
required for the job), cracking her gum and throwing out commentary on what she is doing. Behind her back, the rest of us roll our eyes at her—which is kind of fun—but she really is annoying.
 
這件事之所以是個問題，是因為我知道自己很快就會升職成為團隊領導人，而這個人會成為我的下屬，我實在不知道要如何管理一個我這麼討厭的人，我能夠直接把這種反饋意見告訴她嗎？她難道不會因此而恨我嗎？或者我只是……太過挑剔？
The reason this is a problem is that I know I am being promoted to team lead soon and this person will report to me. I just have no idea how to manage someone I hold in such contempt. Can I give her this feedback?
Won’t she hate me? Or am I just …Too Critical?
