That's excellent advice.
Here's less reasonable advice that I've also found works well: bait toxic people into bad behavior.
Figure out what gets the biggest response out of them while looking super reasonable yourself. Try to get them fired up as much as possible so they're annoying everyone, especially their manager, and not just you. The more people angry with the toxic person, the shorter their lifespan.
Give them enough rope to hang themselves.
Trolling is a art.
- Minor49er 7y agoI'd much rather prefer working with a bully instead of someone who is trying to trick an alleged bully into destructive behavior, personally
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoI agree with you. I mean, anon9001's approach could work... but it would make me have to become a manipulative jerk myself. Since the reason the toxic coworker is a problem is because of what they do to my mental health, this proposed cure looks as bad as the disease.

- jdashg 7y agoThis is toxic behavior.
