writes:HI, My problem is related to my professional relations. Actually Im with my company from past 7 years and worked a lot here with full honesty and more than my profile. My bosses used to appreciate in front of me for my work and behave. We had a very formal environment here. so i thought my bosses very formal and decent. But now a lady has joined here who is very mannersless and changing my whole office environment. Worst of all my bosses are also ok with this. They have also started their other colors. They want me to be their part but I want to be alone rather than in bad company. But this way I m being treated as a back seater which I cannot tolerate as I m much much more skillfull, educated and cultured as compared to her. Due to this Im very disturbed. I do not know how should I attend the office? In what way I should behave here? Kindly suggest...

If your bosses are making things more casual and easygoing, then that should indicate they are increasing tolerance. This includes tolerating your formality. You say you would rather be alone than in bad company. Just because you are in bad company, that doesn't necessarily mean they expect you to act like them.If they are swearing or not saying please/thank you or whatever it is you think is bad manners, have you told them how you feel about their actions? They may even stop if they know it's making you uncomfortable.You have been offered the opportunity to be in your bosses part, but you rejected them. You had to decide which is more important to you - being treated as a back seater, being in bad company, or changing your opinion of bad company.If you don't like either of those options, find a company with a work environment like the way your current one was before the change.
