...but I get the feeling this dude is going to require some special attention from me in the near future.
For background purposes, I was transferred a little over a year ago. Did my best to fit in and be a team player, and was sent to a highly desireable training school with a hefty attrition rate about six months later. Worked my ass off to be the top grad, earned a promotion, and was sent to another desireable training school immediately following completion of previous school. The second one is considered a vacation within the community, so I was very thankful of my supervisers.
I was happy as a "worker bee" but understood I would either be promoted or forced to leave if I made no progress.
Some months later, a situation came up where I was provided the opportunity to temporarily transfer to another location going through arduous inspections, so I volunteered for about a month. (See the holy FUCK thread in miscellanous)
And now I'm back, facing some issues with...
The libra was my first contact at the place I transferred to. We were more or less counterparts at the time. From the minute I met him, I wasn't all that fond of him. He was a judgemental smart-ass right out of the gate. He basically criticized me of my accomplishments where I was at previously. I'm not going to go too far in depth right now, but I was basically too busy working in the guts of the organization to focus on superficial achievements.
I could tell he wanted a promotion, but disliked responsibility.... but really that makes sense, who doesn't?
Recently, he has been organizing the workload among junior personnel. One morning while assigning tasks, he told everyone I would be supervising them all. I just stared at him and said "I'm going home after I finish my paperwork, motherfucker."
I was obviously joking, and everyone started laughing, but in the back of my mind I'm wondering why he's trying to task me with things if I'm older and higher up the food chain.
It's starting to bother me, because he will assign things and not follow up. He's mentioned to me publically several times that he wants me to organize the workload, so I know he wouldn't mind dropping it in my lap and walking off.
That's happened, by the way, where he will assign things and ask if I can stay late to supervise. I don't mind staying late, ever. But this is turning into a pattern that I'm not cool with. Especially if people are staying late because the dude can't fucking multi-task.
He's come up to me and asked if I've checked up on someone. I just look at him with a dumb stare and ask "Have YOU checked up on her?"
He'll respond by saying he was busy helping someone else, someone that everyone seems to notice he spends a great amount of time with.
With the promotion, I understand I have greater responsibility, and therefore if anyone under me is working, I would like to be present if possible. I was checking up on everyone, and this knucklehead doesn't seem to realize anything outside of his little bubble. Either that, or he's like a cat that just dropped a dead mouse in the middle of the living room for the owner to appreciate.
I don't know what to make of the situation. It seems rather loaded to me. I don't need the glory, and I'm sick of hearing him bitch about not being promoted. I think I'm going to just keep fucking with his head for as long as possible. I don't know what else to do right now.

Posted by topeshow am i being fucked with?
Seems you're the one being fucked with.
Do something about it.
Stop bitching. I work 17+ hours a day 6-7 days a week.
i get payed more than him, i get more respect than him, and he pretty much gets all the bitch work. that's why he's trying to pawn off some of it on me.
i feel kind of bad because he can't keep his mouth shut and just gets volunteered for bullshit.
i can't be a complete asshole, and not only that, as a superior i'm expected to perform on a higher level, even if that means being more committed or devoted to the group.
Posted by Brosmosisthat's fine, i'm partially just venting.
Tldr
But all that for some Libra dude? Damn, bro.
Sounds like things are getting serious and I wish u both the best of luck. Let us know when the wedding is.
Posted by topesWhat type of pussy-ass work do you do, if i may ask.

It sounds like your coworker doesn't want to accept the fact that you are now higher up than him. He is trying to undermine your status.

For background purposes, I was transferred a little over a year ago. Did my best to fit in and be a team player, and was sent to a highly desireable training school with a hefty attrition rate about six months later. Worked my ass off to be the top grad, earned a promotion, and was sent to another desireable training school immediately following completion of previous school. The second one is considered a vacation within the community, so I was very thankful of my supervisers.
I was happy as a "worker bee" but understood I would either be promoted or forced to leave if I made no progress.
Some months later, a situation came up where I was provided the opportunity to temporarily transfer to another location going through arduous inspections, so I volunteered for about a month. (See the holy FUCK thread in miscellanous)
And now I'm back, facing some issues with...
The libra was my first contact at the place I transferred to. We were more or less counterparts at the time. From the minute I met him, I wasn't all that fond of him. He was a judgemental smart-ass right out of the gate. He basically criticized me of my accomplishments where I was at previously. I'm not going to go too far in depth right now, but I was basically too busy working in the guts of the organization to focus on superficial achievements.
I could tell he wanted a promotion, but disliked responsibility.... but really that makes sense, who doesn't?
Recently, he has been organizing the workload among junior personnel. One morning while assigning tasks, he told everyone I would be supervising them all. I just stared at him and said "I'm going home after I finish my paperwork, motherfucker."
I was obviously joking, and everyone started laughing, but in the back of my mind I'm wondering why he's trying to task me with things if I'm older and higher up the food chain.
It's starting to bother me, because he will assign things and not follow up. He's mentioned to me publically several times that he wants me to organize the workload, so I know he wouldn't mind dropping it in my lap and walking off.
That's happened, by the way, where he will assign things and ask if I can stay late to supervise. I don't mind staying late, ever. But this is turning into a pattern that I'm not cool with. Especially if people are staying late because the dude can't fucking multi-task.
He's come up to me and asked if I've checked up on someone. I just look at him with a dumb stare and ask "Have YOU checked up on her?"
He'll respond by saying he was busy helping someone else, someone that everyone seems to notice he spends a great amount of time with.
With the promotion, I understand I have greater responsibility, and therefore if anyone under me is working, I would like to be present if possible. I was checking up on everyone, and this knucklehead doesn't seem to realize anything outside of his little bubble. Either that, or he's like a cat that just dropped a dead mouse in the middle of the living room for the owner to appreciate.
I don't know what to make of the situation. It seems rather loaded to me. I don't need the glory, and I'm sick of hearing him bitch about not being promoted. I think I'm going to just keep fucking with his head for as long as possible. I don't know what else to do right now.
Also why do i feel like I am in 'professional development' forum???

Posted by twinkletoesRandom question but is he short?Posted by Deedee86
It sounds like your coworker doesn't want to accept the fact that you are now higher up than him. He is trying to undermine your status.
i think you just read my mind.... that's kind of the dilemma i'm facing.
he seems to believe he is smarter than everyone around him, specifically other superiors. i'm just thinking to myself "well shit, how does he REALLY feel about me then..."click to expand
Posted by LibrasettingExplain your feelings. don't just state them.
I just got a feeling you actually got promoted because of him and you don't even realize it and he's pissed so he's done with this shit and has a do it yourself attitude. Been there done it literally have walked of a job cuz of bs like this only to get called back because the person was a failure.
What are you, Ms. Cleo? get the fuck out of here with that bullshit
I'm sure as shit he's pissed, because he keeps whining like a pussy. I made it, he didn't, stfu and get over it.
I don't even ride him hard, i don't know where the fucking problem is.
like i said, i let his ass go home when he's ready.
so my question is.... how do i get this guy to fucking follow through on his agreements on deadlines.
if this motherfucker is going to agree to a deadline, why the fuck isn't he seeing it through to the end.
is this a libra issue, or is this a general personality issue?

You may have to get tough.
Right now he is not taking your authority seriously and almost daring you to do react.
Try pulling him aside and having a professional conversation with him. Express your concerns without being accusatory.
If he keeps it up after that, start writing him up.

But you have to show him who's boss.
It sounds douchey but if he doesn't respect your authority, the work will suffer
I'm just going to tell you from experience because I was with one for 10 years. Save yourself and do NOT ever take on anything a Libra asks you to do that is clearly their responsibility. I had to learn some really hard lessons about that. In my case my Libra would tasks me with things that were very much his responsibility ONLY so that if something went wrong he would be blameless. I had to quit cold turkey doing anything for him and I've gone through the same with a Libra relative. They will literally put you in the position to be the bad guy if you help them. Just don't. You can try it, but you will soon see exactly what I'm talking about. Try to stay detached from their issues as much as possible because trust me when I tell you they set things up so that their hands always come out clean. Then will turn around and act like they're clueless. You've been warned.
Posted by Nopethat's pretty much why i asked the motherfucking dumbass "Well did YOU check up on her??"

I feel like mary fucking poppins right now, because this dude can't even seem to wipe his fucking ass right
he never meet the deadlines? or is it that he takes his sweet time to get there?

He is doing it on purpose and is expecting you to cave because he figures if you don't, it'll make you look bad anyway if it isn't done. He's setting you up to be the failure in this because he wants your spot. The best approach is to out him in front of other people. Libras do not like looking bad in front of people. They care quite a bit that people think are nice and great. Ruin it for him. Cast doubt early. Ask him in front of others if he's done xyz. It's the only way. No private talks with no witnesses cause he will sweet talk everyone into thinking you're the screw up while smiling in your face.

Why is the concept of responsibility so foreign to so many of you.
I'm his superior. if he can't complete or follow through, it's my responsibility to do so.
