Fellow
employees
may try to
manipulate you into doing things not in your
best interest. There are four common ways people
try to
manipulate each other:
- -
Flattery
-
You are
the only person who can do
this.
- -
Sympathy
-
I will
fail if you don't
help.
- -
Guilt
-
You owe
this to
me.
- -
Intimidation
-
Help or
else you will be punished.
It is ok to go
along with a manipulator if doing so is in your
best
interest.

Do not fall into
the trap of taking on
an assignment that is
not in your best interest.
Be aware of how
manipulators work, know
your own limits and be
assertive about making
a decision that makes
sense for you.
