Your coworkers don't want your direction. They may feel they don't NEED your direction.
Don't give them anymore direction and concern yourself only with your work. They will sink or swim. |

Turn off the type A, man.
I have the same issue, I act, react and work like an owner of the company--that doesn't leave a lot of room for niceness. I treat people with respect but am just direct. |

If you are working as a team, there is a fine line between helping to keep the production flowing and minding your own business.
Teaching someone a better or easier way to get things done is good. Telling them what to do may not be so good. Depends on the job, etc. |

Few things will piss off a coworker like someone who is not their boss trying to tell them what to do.
Do your job. If you feel your coworkers aren't doing theirs, tell your boss. |

Now I may have my issues but my work ethic has never been a problem. I was just informed that because I tell my coworkers what needs to be done in the absence of our supervisor they have complained. Told me I do good work but to be more subtle and treat them as my family. So is coddling something you guys do at work? I am fortunate in that I usually mind my own business, but my co-workers will ask for my assistance. Also my bosses, and their boss, and the Support bosses, and THEIR boss....  .
Good news is I have put in for a Supervisor's position (which I won't get, because I have no "leadership" experience  )

if you are not the supervisor, you can't act like one. That simple.
Either get a promotion, get sociable, or get a new job. |

Time to let them fall flat on their asses, document your productivity, and document your "counseling."
They don't want help, so do your job and let them eat shit. Either they pick up the slack, or they find value in your assistance. Either way, you win. And you don't really have to do anything. |

 Don't say shit at work unless their holding you up then let your boss know. Watch what happens and keep your reactions and opinions too yourself. Consider it a social experiment. |

Its about making the department I work in look the best it can look so when we get visits from the DM he wont chew our bosses ass and in turn her chew our asses. Also keeping shit organized helps aid in sales and inventory counts. |

It depends on how you come across when you do it. If you act like you're the boss or being bossy, it'll piss them off. I had an incident like that. Worked night shift with two or three other guys, all of us occupied the same spot at the bottom of the totem pole. One guy started acting like he was in charge. It didn't end well.

This is the age of "feelings" and making sure none get hurt. This is the age when mediocrity is applauded and a strong work ethic is frowned upon by most, even mocked. I'm the same way and I've had supervisors tell me I need to "be more diplomatic". Fuck that, shit needs to get done and being nice about it does not make things happen. |

That's how my work flow specialist got where he is today...coddling and covering for his coworkers butts. The end result, a bunch of fifty some year olds with a diluted perception of a real days work who've forgotten they get paid in many cases to do jack squat and complain about how much better the company used to be.my .02, start looking a new job if it's a viable option.
