Ideally, everyone in your activity department will get along and work well as a team. Unfortunately, this doesn’t always happen.

7 Ageist Habits You May Be Guilty Of (and How to Break Them)
Hi Paraskevi
I am sure you have explained Why and when you do what you do
Does this person who you have a conflict with do good work besides that or are there other problems??
If everything else is good perhaps you can figure out a way to satisfy both of you by compromising somehow
Thanks for this - very helpful at this time!
Hi Paraskevi
I found that a staff meeting works well
The hard part may be getting everyone together
It’s nice to serve food at the meeting

Hi I do that too. It's so hard.
I am getting a lot of conflict with what activities are on times, why is t his person doing this.....
It's hard because they make you feel so bad and like a losing battle.
