Talkative Colleagues To Keep Mum
We all look forward to a good atmosphere in a work station. If you are one of them who loves to work in a peace and quite zone, talkative colleagues is something that will really take the cream off the cake. Being around a talkative colleague is mind boggling and can even at times get worse if you do not have the attitude to deal with them.
The only key to deal with a talkative colleague is to use the right type of communication with them. But one would wonder, how to communicate with someone who will not even think twice to take a breath between words to speak? Well, here are some of the best ways to deal with a talkative colleague and let me tell you that these ways might look simple. But, getting them to work on the one who jabbers right through the day, its a task you will have to look forward to in succeeding.
- Ignoring the talkative co worker is the fastest way of indirectly telling your colleague that he/she talks too much during office hours. The safest way to control the tongue is by telling your co-worker that you have a lot of work on your hands and that you need to meet deadlines. In this way, he/she will understand.
- Replying in a short answer is another trick to communicate with a talkative colleague. It is the fastest means of communicating with those who talk a lot during office hours.
- Allotting a time to talk is yet another way, to curb your colleague from wasting your time over issues that aren't work related or unimportant. This time allotment could be during a short break or the lunch hour.
- If being honest doesn't work with your talkative colleague, gaze into the desktop/laptop and continue to work. You can also listen to some music which is yet another key to curb unnecessary talking during office hours.
- Pin pointing is a little offensive for a few people. Indirectly telling the team members that you do not want to be disturbed is another way to tell your talkative colleague, that you are not interested to indulge in a conversation.
- When you are busy and your talkative colleague walks up to you to start a conversation, try answering a phone call or pretend to be on the phone. In this way, he/she will think that you are actually on a telephonic conversation.
These are some of the best office tips to escape from the hands of a talkative colleague. Best of luck for the next time if you see one coming along.
