Well it really depends on the work environment i.e. is it an office environment v.s. a construction or automachanic shop. The reality is this; where it is an office environment your boss will have to view your complaint as valid though depending on the nature of your complaint (does this co-worker insult or does he just belittle you) which ever is the case this is your right to complain. However if it is a construction or even a mechanic shop should your co-worker sexually harrass you...by law your employer should do something
YOU WON'T LOOK LIKE A WINER IF YOU CONFRONT YOUR BOSS AND SAY;
*"I have a problem working with this individual which in turn affects my work performace"
*" This individual calls me X and Y and this is highly unprofessional and it needs to stop...what are HRs guidelines on this" |

Don't attack the person; attack the behavior. If you bring this to the attention of your boss, tell him/her what this co-worker is doing but be specific. Give dates, times, places, what was talked about, and what your co-worker said. It's also a good idea to have other co-workers on your side who could corroborate any stories you tell about your co-worker treating you disrespectfully. Be as matter-of-fact about it as possible, and make sure your boss gets the message that it's not a personal vendetta -- it's a situation where your co-worker is behaving in a less than professional manner. |

You need to state exactly what the co-worker does in non judgmental terms. For example, don't say he is demanding. Say, "Whenever he gives me an assignment he tells me I better have it done in one hour" Be specific and put it in like a question. Like, do you think this is okay, I need your opinion. So you look like you are problem solving, not whining. |

I think you mean "whiner." This is a tough one and don't expect the boss to back you. There is no easy way to do this other than just make a list of concerns and bring them to the attention of your boss. Be prepared though, for a noncommittal response. |

Oh man, you and me both! I have someone that thinks her poo don't stink and everyone else is inferrior. Bugs the crap out of me. Just approach your boss and let him/her know what is going on. Don't try to sound like you are whining but that you show concern. If they are a good boss they should try to resolve the issue. Good luck...I know I don't have any luck with my co-worker. She gets away with murder..even telling the boss to f-off! My boss isn't a working boss. He just lets what happens happen. |

Think about how your boss would react if you did whine. If he is the type that would say, "lets go ask him how he feels about this and to have consideration", then start by telling the boss, "I told the problem worker to stop and have some consideration already, but that didnt work and I dont want to be a complainer but I cant work with this negative energy". |

First, go to your coworker directly and communicate in "I" language. For example, "When you treat me disrespectfully [be specific about what this person did and when], it affects our working relationship in a negative way. I'd like you to treat me better. Do you think it would help if we met with the boss on this to get his/her input?" |

I am sorry that you feel this way. I would tell my boss that I need to have a meeting with him/her. And let him/her what the problem is and how to take care of it.
Good Luck |
