If you work with an irritable person, don't let their attitude rub off on you. Instead:
- Control your actions. Don't overreact. The grump needs some one to irritate.
- Don't let grump make you stressed out. A little harmless joke can lift everyone's spirits.
- Have a talk with grump. A little talk may find out what's wrong.
- Offer your help. The grump must be told that problems need to be kept out of the workplace.
- Practice what you preach. Keep your attitude upbeat. This will encourage others to think and act in a positive manner.
