I posted the following on LinkedIn a few days ago after I was fired from a temp position I had worked in for only three weeks.

The situation I found myself in at that job was one like I have found myself in before. I tried reaching out to the department manager and left a long, detailed message with his administrative assistant hoping to talk with him about a problem I was having with someone in particular, who I thought was personality disordered and who obsessively and desperately was seeking personal attention from me. She also began following me in the office.

Instead of contacting me to set up a time where he could speak with me, he fired me. I want to raise awareness of the personalities we are finding in the workplace, and other places today that can be quite damaging and disturbing. We need prayer to the Lord Jesus Christ continually in everything we do. This world is not safe so we must find our refuge in the Lord.

Here is the post I published on LinkedIn:

⚡️In the professional world, we encounter a variety of personalities, each contributing to the diverse tapestry of the workplace. While collaboration is essential, it’s equally important to establish boundaries that ensure a healthy and productive environment.

⚡️Recently, I faced a challenging situation that prompted reflection on the impact of certain personalities in the workplace. It’s crucial to address the balance between professional duties and personal boundaries.

⚡️Emotionally and socially needy individuals may inadvertently cross boundaries, making it challenging for their colleagues to focus on their tasks. Recognizing the signs of such behavior is the first step in fostering a harmonious work atmosphere.

⚡️In my journey, I’ve learned the importance of effective communication in managing these dynamics. Open discussions, without pointing fingers, can create awareness and contribute to a more supportive workplace culture.

⚡️Let’s collectively work towards a professional environment where everyone feels empowered to excel without unnecessary distractions. Share your thoughts on maintaining a balance between work and personal boundaries.
