What should I do re: negative coworker?

[Deja Q]

He whines and complains about everybody; despite having been warned. By no less than 3 supervisors over the course of how many years now...

Now I find out he is covertly looking up my work tickets. Indirectly, from another coworker who thinks he was trying to be helpful to me. (Helpful? Riiiiiiiight...)

And despite being told something is to be done about him (he's already been warned by the latest supervisor, supposedly), my supervisor is having me work with him on a new project.

Great. :eyes:

I really am about to walk out, fuck my credit and everything else. If they want people to leave by attrition, so be it. I've got skills, I can be used elsewhere.

Thanks for any advice. I'd rather deal with the asswipe and the green supervisor too.

1. Try making a Pollyanna-type remark to his complaints.

I had a female co-worker like that once. She was always complaining about everybody and everything. She'd come in every morning g-d this and g-d that. The management were such wimps they never would do anything about her. When there was a downsizing, she was downsized.

I think this woman was depressed, but she was sure a pain in the arse to be around 8 hours a day.

2. this is a tough one - the super in a sense is setting you up -

and setting this other person up - I had one once when they found out I did not want to work with someone - made sure I did and then wanted me to 'tattle' on them - I refused to 'tattle' and then became the target - the whole situation was sick - the manager's for sure - but I shot myself in the foot by leaving a good paying job instead of outlasting them.
