Fortunately I have not had that experience.  I belive being respectful and polite provides a stress-free workplace to collaborate.

Although I pride myself in getting along with my coworkers,  I was given an assignment to work with an coworker that I didn't get along with. We sat down and discussed how we could work together to role out the new process and agreed to work through implementing best top two ideas. We completed the project which led to a new process being implemented to improve customer satisfaction

At Auctane, I worked with a director of Cloud Engineering who had a different working style, which created a challenging power dynamic. To navigate this, I adopted a very objective approach in my interactions with his team.
First, I clearly defined my requests and needs. Then, I shared a detailed document outlining these requests, along with any questions he might have. This ensured that all information was presented in a structured and transparent manner.
By focusing the discussion on the specific tasks and requirements, we were able to maintain a productive dialogue and achieve our objectives despite our differing styles. This approach allowed us to complete most tasks efficiently and minimized the impact of our differences.
