I Don't want to be dragged into this.
Every day the guy in the cubicle next to my stops by to complain about how much he hates our company, how they always screw him, and how much he wants to quit. This was annoying but not problematic, until he started trying to get other people on board with him by using MY name and saying I agree with him! I don't want that kind of reputation but he's also not someone I want to be angry at me. Is there any good way to clear this up peacefully?
Ex package handler here :) Ive had MANY people do this. "I hate my job F this an that" they didn't even work hard an fought for the easy spots. Look him in the eye an ask with a big smile :) "WHY DONT YOU?" Call his BS an tell him to do it right now! Some people are just babies an I know you want to be the nice person but some times a verbal smack in the face is just what they need. I'm telling you now with him pulling this your job is at risk, don't agree with anything he says anymore, if you really want to be nice tell him how there are people really hurting with no jobs right now, tell him there are people out in hard weather doing hard work making less than he his, tell him there is a monkey at the zoo who will do his job half price an probably a better job cause the monkey doesn't have a facebook account to be looking on all the time... You sound really nice but there are some people not worth being nice to, choice your friends wisely an good luck...
You need to go to your supervisor and speak with him/or regarding this matter. Because if thinhs exculate and your name is mentioned by him you could be fired for untrues. Nip it in the bud before its to late
Hi Pine, Trust that you are fine and going on with your duties well.In every team,you will always find individuals who are there to distract others from performin their duties well.All of you including this distractor are employees of the company.If he doesn't like the jobe,he can discuss with his employer and plan the way forward with him or her but singing to you about dislike of the company every day his on duty is unacceptable. The next minute he laments about the company,tell him in black and white that he should go and look for a better company and that nobody is holding to the company.In addition,tell him to go and share his sentiments with any body else he so wishes but should give you peace.If he continues with the same attitude then you report him.
Less is is best. I would not utter a word. No one would SEE my lips move and definitely give him ZERO eye contact. Either he resign or believe IT GETS GREATER LATER.
You need to talk to your supervisor and let them know so your job is safe. Keep your head up you have this.
Try the big girl approach and be honest and direct : Correct him about his misunderstanding, and demand that he keeps his negativity to himself.
Tell him don't use your name,I not in that,or say I'm good ,I have no worries and don't need any☺☺☺☺☺
You should go & talk to your Supervisor because if you don't make the first move & his is using your name, you can end up losing your job because of him & you have nothing to do with it.
I would remind him that he's lucky to have a job at all. There are too many people out there that would love to have his job (whatever that may be) and be very enthusiastic about it. If he hated it so much he would be looking elsewhere... maybe he's the type of person that always feels the victim and will complain wherever he goes.
Sounds like a mutiny while trying to throw you under the bus. Nothing worse than a hostile environment. You need to protect yourself by: 1. Deal directly with him. Telling him you don't appreciate him dragging you into this situation. 2. Go to your supervisor making him aware of the goings on. 3. If it continues, go to HR. Probably a dead issue since I received this 16 days late!
