Need help with a co-worker who is always pushing his workload to me? |
I have a coworker who is constantly pushing his workload to my to-do list. He has been with the company for about a year or so and is somewhat of a kiss-a.s.s with the supervisor. The f.u.c.k.ed part about the whole thing is that my supervisor is never around to monitor who is doing what and at what speed. I can be working my a.s.s off and the team will get credit. This guy would wait for me to do a project and right about when I am to finish, he would jump in and do one or two things so that he can say he have part in the project. I can't refuse his help because he would tell the supervisor that I am not a team player and that he was just trying to help. He would ask me to do some of his work, and if I say "no" he would then tell the supervisor that I am not a team player. He always does his best to take credit and not do anything. Please help. I am about to quite this job just because of him. Help. How do I deal with this? Definitely talk to your super first thing. If your super doesn't necessary want to believe it, then I would start looking b/c things will not change. Believe me, I work for a sole practioner (Attorney) who thinks looking at his coin collection and b*t*hing about his divorce is more important than working with his clients. I have had to cover for him a million times. I've talked to him about it, and he thinks I am his personal assistant (even tho, I am his paralegal-who is under paid to be an attny) and that if he has to lift his finger once, he should just get rid of me and do it himself. I know where you're coming from man, believe me. Only thing, I don't have a super to go to, just my boss. Talk to your super. 1) You are allowing yourself to be a doormat, victim and then getting resentful! It's time to take your power back. Read a book on setting Boundaries. They are many good ones on it. You have to learn how to say no and not feel guilty. Because if you're having this problem at work -- you are having it in every part of your life and have for a long time! 2) Team player? And yes, you can say no and it doesn't mean you aren't a team player. It means "no". Just say "you appreciate his/her offering help, but you have it under control". Also when he/she comes over to give you their work, say that you're sorry, your boss has given you tasks to finish and that you're unable to take on more work at this time. It's time to take your power back. Maria Marsala http://www.elevatingyourbusiness.com...
