So I graduated from college last year and got a job straight out of school as an art director. Some of the new girls that are around my same age like to say I'm cocky and too selective. All of the seniors like me though and it's seems I've gained alot of respect in their eyes since I started, as they're always asking me for my input. The young women basically say I'm cocky because I make calls on a lot of issues that I shouldn't be involved in, I just feel if something could be working better we should change it, and I have no problem telling someone about it. Personally, I don't care what they think of me, but I worry, because they're the type that like to gossip and talk about everyone in the office, and all they seem to care about is protecting themselves, I try to keep out of inter office politics as much as possible, and I don't want them to try and pull me in and slander me to the VPs and senior directors. How should you deal with these types?
