I’m only a few months into my procurement role, and there’s this supplier that’s been around for 10 years, but honestly, it’s getting so frustrating working with them. 😤 They seem to go out of their way to make my life difficult, but I can’t just cut them off because they’ve been here longer than me! I’ve tried to stay professional, but it’s becoming unbearable. How do I deal with them without burning bridges but also not losing my mind?

Honestly? I’d start keeping a paper trail and looping in your boss when needed. If they’re being difficult, it’s not on you to fix everything alone. Just because they’ve been around forever doesn’t mean they’re untouchable. Stay calm, but don’t be a pushover.
