hi all, I am deaf myself, I have worked for my employers who are a big company for 12 years. I am excellent at my work and I work very well. I have a rasonably good working relationship with my workmates. The only problem is the behaviours part, I seem to have bottled up frustration every 2 or 3 months that end up in a blow up and results in being marked down by my bosses which makes me lose confidence in myself. I try so hard to impress my bosses they keep hammering down on me on the behaviours part. Its the younger members of staff I have a problem with they are so ignorant and full of themselves. Yet they get the upgrade/promotions… I work just as hard as them, even harder at some of the time.help!!! my bosses do not know how to help me and I dont know if they really have the picture.I am quite frustrated because I have to deal with communication on top of keeping my work to high standards. Not easy for a Deaf person to work in a hearing environment. Any suggestions?

Don’t lose sight of what you are at work for. Try and turn a blind eye to the people that irritate you and if you feel yourself getting frustrated go to a window or doorway take in some air until your blood pressure drops back to normal. The best way to deal with ignorant people funnily enough is to ignore them and rise above it.
