Let’s see how to deal with such passive yet aggressive colleague:

  • Shift your complete focus to work. Despite of your uncooperative colleague, your ultimate aim should be completion of the task that has been assigned. Do not expect changes in his attitude overnight, get your work done by yourself.
  • Provide feedback to your colleague. Get your point communicated to them effectively about your experience with them. Tell them how their behavior is affecting you and the work.
  • Encourage peer pressure. Hereafter any business meeting, you can involve others as well as this particular co-worker which is creating problems and ask them about their future strategies and how they are going to achieve the goals.
