How do you deal with a coworker who hates you?

Interpersonal issues with coworkers can be handled by addressing the source of tension with the individual, identifying the reason for the animosity, inviting a mediator to assist in creating a dialogue and finding ways to avoid that individual. Coworkers might dislike each other for several reasons, including jealousy, personality conflicts and unprofessional behavior.

Hatred among colleagues often goes both ways. Discuss the problem with the colleague by asking about the source of the anger and asking about how the situation could be remedied. Inviting a mediator can help keep the conversation civil.

Minimizing conflict with a colleague who expresses hate or anger can diffuse the situation. If necessary, ask a superior for a transfer to a different department or ask for assistance in handling the situation.
