Being agreeable at the work place? Some people are abel to be assertive with people that they regularly spent time with, in a personal enviaroment. That is the case of their couples and friends, but when it comes to the workplace some people find themselves unable to stand up and ask for what they want or say "no" to what they don´t. They try artificially to keep a smile on their face in order to avoid been asked what is happening to then and be forced to respond "I don´t want to talk about it". However, they should give a try to stop being so agreeable. This would allow them to enjoy more the time spent at the workplace and, in the long run, this not only would lead to increase productivity but also to better relation with others. Coworkers would perceive then in a better manner and increase respect for then. Being able to say no, regardless our desire to be agreeable is something to practice every day.

That is the case if they are couples and friends, but when it comes to the workplace some people find themselves unable to stand up or ask for what they want or say "no" to what they don´t want (to do). They try artificially to keep a smile on their face in order to avoid being asked what is happening to them and are forced to respond with "I don´t want to talk about it".
