| Jul 22, 2016 at 17:28 | comment | added | Old_Lamplighter | @BSMP I agree, there is no way anything other than MYOB is the proper course of action. | |
| Jul 22, 2016 at 17:27 | comment | added | DJClayworth | @JasonJ By 'monitor his output' I'm going to assume you mean his work :-) | |
| Jul 22, 2016 at 15:58 | comment | added | BSMP | confront him and tell him to seek medical help ...I can't imagine a version of this conversation that ends well. | |

| Jul 22, 2016 at 14:53 | comment | added | JasonJ | It is his managers job to monitor his output and deal with it if it is a problem. You dont know the full situation, nor should you since he is a coworker and not someone who reports to you. For all you know he has worked it out with his manager and does work at night to make up for the time he is away from his desk during the day. | |

| Jul 22, 2016 at 14:53 | comment | added | New-To-IT | Take the advice in David K's linked question, it's the managers job to manage his/her employees, let the manager take care of this, and you keep working away. Let the employee fail on his own. | |

| Jul 22, 2016 at 14:50 | comment | added | New-To-IT | Is it affecting your work? Is it making you have to do more work or making your work harder? | |

| Apr 25, 2014 at 19:08 | comment | added | IDrinkandIKnowThings | FWIW - This is not a situation I am actively trying to deal with. But it is a situation I have dealt with many times in the past with varying levels of success and failure. Coming into a situation like this can make the workplace that you have really enjoyed become very unpleasant. I know we have had other questions that probably could have been altered to ask just this. So I think some quality answers could help others including myself in the future. | |
| Apr 25, 2014 at 19:05 | comment | added | IDrinkandIKnowThings | Senior was the best term I could come up with. I am looking for an answer where this is addressing someone who is established and has a position that would be considered more advanced. It could be just a senior, or a lead, or even just the office superhero. If you can think of a better term for this than senior I am open to it. I prefer to keep it employment-type agnostic. | |

| Apr 25, 2014 at 14:01 | comment | added | IDrinkandIKnowThings | @teego1967 - I would say that rather than throwing under the bus its more making sure that the path of the bus is such that low/non-performers will need to either get out of its way or make sure that the bus needs to actively avoid them. Throwing someone under the bus is generally a reaction to a failure and needing someone else to take the blame. I am looking to be proactive so there is no need to be reactive. | |

| Apr 24, 2014 at 21:11 | comment | added | teego1967 | Well, is that your true intent? to throw this person under-the-bus? Concealing one's intent "works" if you are Machiavellian-- but in reality it backfires in a nasty way if/when you're found out. Perhaps a better approach is to name who you would like to work with instead, or just be upfront about wanting to mitigate your increased workload? | |
