Title: how to deal with difficult colleagues Post by: sonic youth on Monday, June 30, 2008, 20:26:35 tips anyone?
we have someone in our office who is unbelievably annoying, lazy and incapable of working alone therefore wasting everyoen else's time. no, it isn't me. so far i've tried the friendly approach, passive-aggressive approach (post-it notes) and today i tried the outright abuse approach. the abuse worked in the short-term but i feel that it will lose it's effect over time and may get me fired. so does anyone else have any tips?

Not word for word obviously. Title: how to deal with difficult colleagues Post by: Peter Venkman on Monday, June 30, 2008, 20:36:19 The way I used to deal with colleagues like that was to instigate a problem (easier if 2 of you are in on it) and pass the blame over to them, make it seem as if its their fault.
Getting them in the shite big style is so much fun, and can usually either end up in disciplinary action/sack or a total change in attitude of the individual!

Title: how to deal with difficult colleagues Post by: flammableBen on Monday, June 30, 2008, 20:41:37 mouse balls are ace. They've normally got a nice bit of weight behind them, so you can launch them accurately and hard. Good times.

Title: how to deal with difficult colleagues Post by: sonic youth on Monday, June 30, 2008, 20:56:30 i've found that the blank cd thing you get in spindles of cdr's make an excellent projectile for office based japes
they also make a wicked sound when they bounce off someone's skull. anyway, in all seriousness my colleague is very annoying and we're all sick of picking up his slack. would talking to the boss about it be cuntish? i think he's probably aware but even so...

Title: how to deal with difficult colleagues Post by: Gazza's Fat Mate on Monday, June 30, 2008, 20:58:19 Depends how your office works. If you can I would make lots little mistakes that all lead back to this chap . Works a treat bit like water troutor slowly slowly I'm currently drawing an end to a year long campaign of fuck up someone I work with who annoys me and it makes me smile every day when my boss come across another little problem which this chap has no idea about so when quizzed he just answers "I don't know" which just gets the boss even more angry ha ha ha

I'd advise caution - sounds like you'd lose out if the guy complained - especially if he's kept hold of the post-its Title: how to deal with difficult colleagues Post by: flammableBen on Tuesday, July 1, 2008, 07:10:57 Yes it would be cuntish. Stop being a cunt. Cunt face.
