How to Let Go of Resentment on the Job

No matter how much you like your coworkers or employees, you're going to have some conflicts with them. Most of those conflicts involve differences of opinion or approach. A colleague may do something that irks you or causes difficulties for the work you are doing. While those conflicts may lead to tension for some period, you typically get beyond those difficulties and, perhaps, may even wind up with a closer relationship to them later.

But, there are some colleagues where anger hardens into resentment. This can cause real workplace problems, because you’re going to have to engage with that colleague which can get in the way of a project's success. Plus, no matter how good you think you are at hiding your resentments, chances are your feelings for that person shine through in your engagements with them as well as your conversations about them.

Not only will those resentments make projects harder to complete, they also can stand in the way of your success in your organization. After all, most promotions involve moving up in leadership. Companies like to promote individuals they think will bring people together rather than dividing them. Your resentments mark you as a source of division rather than unity.
