How To Handle Colleques Who Distrubes You When You Are In Some Important Discussion By Commenting On Your Dress

How to Handle or Reply to Colleagues Who Disturb You When You Are in an Important Discussion by Commenting on Your Attire

When faced with colleagues who disrupt your focus during important discussions by commenting on your attire, it is essential to address the situation tactfully. Firstly, remain composed and politely acknowledge their comments. You can then redirect the conversation back to the topic at hand by stating that you prefer to concentrate on the matter being discussed. Additionally, you may choose to address their behavior privately after the meeting to express how their comments affected your concentration and suggest more appropriate ways to provide feedback in the future. By handling the situation with professionalism and assertiveness, you can maintain a positive work environment while ensuring your focus remains on the task at hand.

By turning a deaf ear, or what Swami Anbubhavananda calls "adopting selective hearing," and following the adage "sticks and stones hurt but words do not," it seems most spouses adopt that approach when their other half makes complaints to avoid unnecessary arguments.

In a working environment, this kind of behavior can be disturbing. You must take this up with the HR in your organization and don't turn a blind eye to this. If you do not bring this up to the HR team, this will happen to other colleagues as well. Let them handle this with subtle messaging.

Hi, according to me, we must try to sort out our own issues first, so take this as an opportunity to discuss with the person directly. Tell them that you are interested in speaking to them after you finish with one, genuinely give time to that person in private, listen to what they have to say, and reply professionally. If comments are not acceptable, inform them openly, and positively give basic etiquette information. If the behavior persists more than two times, then consult your HR.

In most of my cases, it worked; in fact, it helped me secure a better place and recognition.

Best Regards.
