For myself, and where I work, conflict resolution is best accomplished by ignoring the problem, which I can do very easily. We have a small shop of 6, and our supervisor. There is only one person who thus far has been a problem for anyone, and we basically ignore him. I am confident that eventually the situation will come to a satisfactory conclusion, and that individual may very well wish he had been more pliant in his attitudes.

My boss knows how I feel, and that I have refused to go farther up the line of management because of my concern of how it might affect him. Time will take care of this issue.
