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?

Escalate it to the persons boss and let them deal with it.

Just put up with it. I'm sure he's chuffed about the new kid who works really hard and makes him look bad.

Ask your line manager for an appraisal or 'catchup meeting' (appraisals can be done more than once a year), ask how they think you're getting on and drop in that you feel your progress is being hindered by cuntchops because etc. etc...
Not word for word obviously.

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!

Unplug his mouse and watch as he tries to make it work by shaking it.

Its not really your issue if you arent this persons boss and you shouldnt be leaving post it notes,giving abuse or encouragement.You're getting yourself involved in office politics and sound a bit of a borderline bully,you sound like a bit of a "Gareth" if I'm honest.

I was thinking something similar....it's what happens though when you become a slave to the system. |

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.
