Always try to be nice to others near your desk or cubicle, but if you have a beef with those in your vicinity, go over their heads to your ‘great manager’
I covered for two parallel mat leaves last year. We went from a team of three to one. I made it through because I had a great manager. Now my co-workers are back and expect me to stay late to do their lab work because I’m single. There is an expectation that I have the “luxury of a flexible schedule.
You have to deal with whatever the baby’s problems are. You get up, change the baby’s drawers for him or whatever, go back to bed, try to sleep, have some marginal success at that pursuit or perhaps none whatsoever.

Every once in a while a diva would enter the newsroom, and the diva would be told by the boss: “You’re going to be a star!”One came over to where we, the grunts, were sitting: “Do you know the difference between ‘'you’re’ and ‘your’?”Because someone had spelled it wrong. Which, first of all, makes no difference when you’re just reading something into the camera.
I guess what I’m saying is, first of all, lead by example and always be nice to everyone in the vicinity of your desk or cubicle. Secondly, if you have a beef with those in your vicinity, go over their heads to your “great manager” and say something to the effect of “Listen, I feel like some of my colleagues are taking advantage of me and I wish you would take care of that.”
