7 Ways to Stop Workplace Drama in Public Safety
“That’s not my job! I don’t get paid to do that! That’s not fair. Judy just called out sick at the last minute! Why are you singling me out?“
Complaining, back-stabbing, manipulation, tattling, and power struggles can make even the best manager want to throw in the towel. Negativity spreads like a virus and impacts productivity, well-being and culture.
The Impact of Drama in Public Safety
Nowhere is the impact more dangerous than in public safety. Internal drama puts you at risk for more than just a headache. Loss of focus can lead to a lawsuit, or even a lost life. You already deal with the public’s drama. You don’t need it at work.
