  • How to Set Boundaries with Coworkers / It can be so tough to set healthy boundaries in the workplace, especially if you didn’t set boundaries the moment you started your job. Oftentimes, things just happen so gradually, you don’t even realize it and before you know it, you feel like your coworker is taking advantage of you. But it is definitely possible to set boundaries at work and set personal boundaries with your coworkers. In this video, I’ll give you 5 tips to help you effectively communicate what you want and what you don’t want with your work colleagues.

    Reminder: you can be single, no kids and no elderly dependents and still need boundaries.
    Just being a human means we need boundaries.

    You have a right to prioritize your time in life and at work. You don’t have to apologize and you don’t have to give them a reason. Once you have set clear boundaries; anyone who pushes them is a manipulator and does not respect you or your time. They are on a mission to get their fix for attention and distract you from your success in life. Don’t allow them to waste your time. Everyone is not your assignment.

    I like that your approaches are truthful, respectful, patient, and yet firm. Some channels tell people to use falsehood!😲

    My issue is that whether I am busy or not, I don't want some chatty noisy coworker to take up my time for their amusement.

      That's definitely a common issue, and a great suggestion for a future video. I'm going to add this to my topic list. Thanks so much for bringing this up!

    I told my coworker I was uncomfortable with her telling me her business and she said basically that I wasn't her friend and she was confused. I said the problem is you telling me too much of your business. She will always boast and brag on her kids, tell me all of her reasons for calling out which is on a weekly basis and complaining about the job and saying how much she hated working there. I just got tired of her texting me on my off days as well. She got mad and compared me to a former coworker that keft and got a new job. She too told her not to text on her off days and she got mad at her as well. I ended up blocking her from texting me and said God bless you.

    I am really struggling with a new co worker. I am an introvert, we all work from home, but she wants to talk all the time, manipulates me to call her saying "work related" but basically gossip. She is trying to manage our little group, but that is not her job. Complains about everything, and is emotionally immature. I loved my job, now I hate logging in because she is on me as soon as she sees I'm in....there is more...I just don't know how to deal with this. I shared too much when she first started, she seemed harmless, just bubbly, opposite of me, but it has quickly become a clingy, icky thing...I have no idea how to draw boundaries now because the moment I say something, she will have a melt down...😓

      In my case is the opposite - I am thoroughly and purposely ignored by the team I work with, which I somehow enjoy because Most of the time they engage in immature, loud and embarrassing ( at least to me) conversations. They are all fat old/ middle aged women but by their looks they were probably rejects in high school. Now they try to seek some kind of gratification by being part of this somewhat pathetic ‘click’ they formed. It is sort of like ‘now I can do to others what they did to me then’ kind of a thing..It is actually sad to watch…

    I say when it comes to your personal time you don’t need to explain yourself. If they call outside of work act like you didn’t see it. They will feel dumb asking why you didn’t answer on a Sunday and if they do say “I was tied up all day and not near my phone”. They don’t own your weekends if not agreed upon you work them or agreed upon it’s expected before accepting a job. I always ask this in interviews. What are your hours? What’s work life balance like? Bc they can’t say much once you’re hired. On weekends or after work hours “I need to head out at 5” “unfortunately I can’t I have other commitments Sunday”. Don’t explain. It’s your PERSONAL time and quite frankly none of their business. They don’t own your life.
    I also even if I see emails don’t respond until normal business hours. I’m off the clock. I didn’t see it lol

    Please make a video on coworkers who are imposers . You show them kindness and now the person lingers after hours to exit the building, changes work habit s to align with yours such as park where you park. …. Creepy!!!

    Is it too late to set boundaries with coworkers? I have already put myself in spot by being really open. I knew I shouldn't be doing it but I often end up in these spaces. Now I have a coworker who really triggers me. And I have a hard time being consistent with boundaries because the moment I am a little low on guard shit goes back to enmeshing and stuff. I keep getting tired of this pattern.

    I do not give “why’s”. I don’t expect them either. But to each their own. 😊

    With the exception of one woman who lived on the other side and up the street, I do not know anyone else on this block who may even work for Patriot Home Care.

    Having co workers help you discover how crazy, neurotic and mean human beings can be….Most of the team I work with is made of absolutely machiavelical, rude, nut, angry, psycho, fat women… I am at loss trying to figure out how I can fit in with this group. Thank God my manager is a very lovely good woman who somehow keep them on leashes, they are like rabid hell rounds trying to sabotage me everyday…needing to develop some thick skin here…

      Being fat is not a character flaw. That comment makes me wonder who is the problem here. Get a new job you sound like the jobs affecting you and making you angry and a name caller.

    I don't work with my CoWorkers. I don't work in the office.
