This episode of the Workin' on the Weekends Podcast is all about dealing with difficult people at work. We break down some common archetypes of people we can't stand working with, and how you can navigate those relationships best.
The Types Of People We Find Hard To Work With/For
Aka The Corporate Archetypes We Hate
- The bottleneck - the people that you are always waiting on to get something done. You constantly find yourself “circling back” with them to check on the status of XYZ and you can never get your job done until you hear back from them.
- The micromanager - the people that always have an edit, always want to change something that you worked on.
-
And we’re not talking about general feedback, we’re talking about a social media caption with 10 changes and unnecessary feedback that in turn, becomes a bottleneck
-
The “too busy for you” - it sucks to have a manager that doesn’t have time for you to support you or get you what you need to be successful in your role
How To Deal With Difficult People In The Workplace
GENERAL:
- Have a work bestie to vent to!
-
Side note: don’t make venting about people your entire friendship though
-
Document interactions with difficult people so you have proof to refer to if you ever need it
- Loop in your manager so they’re aware of the situation
SPECIFIC:
How to deal with the bottleneck:
- When following up with these types of people, be extremely specific in the timing you need them to get back to you by.
- Start the conversations earlier than your standard processes. For example, if you’d normally give a work week to review content, try a week or a week and a half.
How to deal with the micromanager:
- Have a conversation, like:
- Can you teach/show me exactly what you’re looking for in something like this so next time I can do it more in the way it seems you’re looking?
-
Is there an area where I am missing the mark in your eyes that is making you need to give me this much feedback?
-
Take into consideration the past feedback you’ve received from your client and implement moving forward to cut down on the back and forth.
How to deal with the “too busy for you”
- Set recurring meetings with agendas so you can batch your questions and make sure you’re being heard and being provided support when you need it.
- Ask any questions you can upfront when work is delegated to you, in case this is the last time you can get in touch with your manager for a while.

Want your brand to excel on social media? Peyton and Eileen from the Workin' on the Weekends podcast put together this list to help you feel more confident and prepared.
TIPS FROM SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGERS TO BRANDS
- Determine your target audience and cater your types of content to them
- Be consistent! Sporadic posting is not the move
- Don’t overthink everything. If you have an idea, go for it! If something doesn’t work, don’t sweat it. Social media is a learning game
- Engage, engage, engage. Algorithms promote content that is “well-liked” (liked, shared with a friend, saved for later, etc.) the best way to amplify this concept is to stay involved in the community
- You don’t have to be everywhere, start showing up where the majority of your audience is, and go from there.
- Make sure your content is “social first”, don’t reshare huge Youtube thumbnails or horizontally shot video content on Instagram
- Be human and approachable and not too salesy, helpful over salesy
- Use a social scheduling software that can give you reports and data to help you do your job better and smarter
- Identify your content pillars and utilize that as inspiration for all your posts.
The Workin’ on the Weekends Podcast covers topics on social media marketing, freelance marketing and millennial and Gen Z corporate struggles.
THIS IS WHAT TO BRING TO THE CONVERSATION ABOUT ASKING FOR A RAISE:
-
Approach the conversation with your “progress report”, (for example working in social you can refer to the business goals/objectives/what you’ve been tasked with and show the data behind what you’ve done) - Your manager is looking to determine the ROI on the work you’re doing
-
Be respectful, polite, and patient in the convo. Try not to be super nervous and emotional
IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU DESERVE MORE MONEY, USE THESE TIPS AS EVIDENCE:
-
Do some research on average salaries, you can use Indeed’s salary calculator or Glassdoor to determine your worth!
-
Ask people in your field, or coworkers what they’re making (we love income transparency).
-
Blame it on the economy and inflation and say that is a reason to raise your rates!
-
You could see what other companies are offering for similar positions, and respectfully share to your current company that you'll be applying to those if they don’t give you a raise.
IF THEY CAN’T GIVE YOU MORE MONEY FOR WHAT YOU’RE CURRENTLY DOING BUT YOU STILL WANT TO MAKE MORE MONEY, HERE’S HOW:
- Offer to do more! If you’re only doing organic social, maybe you offer to do paid. If you’re only doing Facebook/Instagram, mention the brand showing up on TikTok or another social outlet.
When you freelance or own your own business, you likely operate outside the typical 9-5. Join Peyton Robinson and Eileen Tauchman every other Monday as they spill the tea on being freelance marketers in the content and social world. You’ll hear real-life experiences about the grind of freelancing and poke a little fun at corporate America, too. You’ll never know what to expect from Peyton and Eileen’s jobs in an ever-changing digital world, but one thing is for sure, they’ll always be working on the weekends.

Do you want tips to help you destress and decompress during stressful work times? Peyton and Eileen are here with a minisode with a bunch of ideas to help all the freelancers and corporate workers get in a better mindset!
Here are the tips we discuss in length in this episode!
- After work 30 min “wind-down”
-
Taking time after work to set up your to-dos for the next days, clean up your office, last email responses etc
-
Have something to look forward to after work that YOU want to do
-
Read a book, do some self-care, go out with friends, whatever it is - just have something that takes your focus that is important/feels good to you
-
Set an “off-time” and stick to it
-
Commit to a time where you “clock out” at the end of the day, or when you take breaks during the day, don’t be working on the side.
-
Physical activity
-
Whether you go for a walk or do your workout then, it can help calm you down after work
-
Talk to a friend or family member, make plans
-
Whether you call or facetime a friend or go hangout with a family member, doing something that takes you out of work mode will help you check out
-
Make lists
- It feels so good to have all your to-do’s listed out and cross them off when they’re accompished. You will feel very productive and it’s good for your mindset.
The Workin’ on the Weekends Podcast covers topics on social media marketing, freelance marketing and millennial and Gen Z corporate struggles.
If you're not familiar with the trend of red flags, green flags and beige flags, let us explain!
Red flags: These are signs that something is NOT good. They can often signs of toxic or negative behavior and when you see these red flags in a potential client, RUN!
Green flags: These are positive signs you get from a client and traits that keep you working with them and enjoying your relationship with them.
Beige flags: Beige flags are neither good or bad, but are seen as quirky and weird things a client may do. They aren't deal breakers, but they will likely cause you to roll your eyes or cause some annoyances.
In this new episode of the WOTW pod, Peyton and Eileen share red, green and beige flags with clients they've worked with or almost worked with! Listen closely and see if you experience these same traits with your freelance clients, OR if you work a full-time job, your employer.

Episode Resources:
Why it’s uncomfortable to say no and why people don’t like to say no
- People don’t like to say no because they fear it will make them seem difficult to work with, disagreeable, or give them a bad rep in general.
- People want to be liked
- Especially in your career, saying no is nerve wracking because you want to avoid conflict or confrontation
- As a freelancer, they can get rid of you at any time so you feel the need to people please.
Why it’s important to say no
- Your time is important and you’re busy
- You just have to!
- Things tend to get out of control and chaotic when you don’t say no
Tips on learning how to say no
- Start with saying no to a small request to give yourself courage
- Be polite, don’t just be blunt and say no
- Provide a solution/more reasonable timetable if that’s what your roadblock is
- Compromise
- Reframe your “no” to sound more positive
- Give yourself time to respond, you don’t need to say no immediately
