Workplace negativity can be overwhelming and working with a negative person can sometimes seem impossible. Some colleagues really need to put the spring back in their step.

1. Choose to remain positive
2. Have low expectations
3. Confront where appropriate
4. Don’t take it personally
5. Distance yourself emotionally and, if possible, physically
6. Be careful with your words.
