I'll cut a long story short - we no longer have a team leader for our team (I work in an open plan office full of small teams for a big company; we sometimes work in tandem with other teams but generally we're all self contained teams) because he got fired and in terms of the actual work we're doing, we're fine (dare I say better off...) without a team leader.
However, one of the guys on my team is rubbing everyone else on the team up the wrong way by way of his (****ING IRRITATING) personality and over the last couple of days it's really hyped up and become a bit problematic. How do you think I should go about dealing with him? It's gone past ignoring him and biting my tongue because he's actively impacting on my working day now, he comes over to ask questions he already knows the answer to so he can argue with you for 20 minutes about the answer, then go ask another person anyway thus wasting your time. We don't have a team leader, so I can't do the usual go to my manager if I have a complaint thing. Should I confront him (which might seem really personal and affect the team) or should I go to the team leader of another team and explain the problems to them so they can have a word with him? I shouldn't have to deal with this and it's not fair on me or anyone else to have to deal with this kind of behaviour on a daily basis, he's extremely infuriating to work with and it's gotten to the point where I can't even look at him without getting mildly irritated/really angry. |

I would have a word with a decent team leader from another section and firstly ask his/her advice about who you should go to, that way you cover yourself and can offload to that team leader at the same time in an informal way.
Life is too short to sit on your hands. make the move Z. |

Why don't you suggest a specific time and duration for discussions, every day first 15mins in the mornings maybe to iron out any team niggles? Say you'd prefer it to being broken off other duties throughout the day, sounds like a storming/ norming scenario

Too glam to give a damn

Well it depends.
Do you think he will be more pissed off/embarrassed/upset if he heard it from you or the team leader? On the other hand he might take it really well if you're just honest with him. It's obvious that something needs done here, but it's figuring out what's best for the long run. |

Yes he sounds like a twit, but you do not get paid to deal with twits so offload and move on and up. |

Z get used to it, some people are going to grate on you, you can't go running to the boss every time someone annoys you, take matters in your own hands, if he asks you a question, act dumb, say you are not sure about what he is asking and refer him to someone else, he will soon get the message.

Zee, I am going through the exact same thing right now with a co worker to the point that the way they are behaving impacts our work daily and then because of her it ends up falling back on all of us, so both myself and another worker had to end up having a word with the boss which was ****ing pointless because nothing has changed and I'm going to end up going mental at her I'm laughing but it's really getting to me, I'm not used to crap like this after working for myself for so long.
Anyway sorry for hijacking your thread and I know none of that above is any help to you but honestly if you find that it's impacting your work then I would say go ahead and have a quiet word with another team leader and explain the situation to them, there's no point in speaking to the person in question imo since you still have to work with them and it could cause an atmosphere or worse constant arguments. Hope you get things sorted out. Last edited by Josy; 22-01-2015 at 06:53 PM. |

I agree with what Livia and LT think. I'd go see someone else before you say something.

I don't listen to anything my co workers say. All they do is gossip about everyone. I just do my job and only chat to the people I like.
