I am dreading work because of one single coworker, whom I work directly with. (Basically he's a big bully and an asshole) What do? #asknostr #grownostr

Wen retirement
What are their strengths and weaknesses and how do they match up with yours?
+2 crossbow skills but weak against water types. Lighthouse's SoJ ring is +1 to all skills tho.
Basically, im far, far more qualified for his job than he (he's in a senior position), thus I suspect he is jealous
Major superiority complex. But I keep it cool as a cucumber. He cant stand it, so he lashes out at me and makes my job difficult at every oppertunity
Well that's a common occurrence in the workplace. How to handle this with finesse is the question.
If you where in his shoes what would a superior talent underling have to do to both gain your respect and convince you to aquiesce your position while saving face?
It's not easy to do this but it's the most cost effective.
Basically this person needs to feel like they are doing you a favor... By relinquishing their position to you... idk what looks like but you would gain their favor, your coworkers favor and it would suggest that the next time you find yourself at the heels of the next person - that they too would benefit from your acent up the corporate ladder so to speak.
One way you might do this is by making this person's workload larger somehow... then suggest to help... Then slowly do only the things he can't do without rubbing it in his face or others faces. Since obviously cares about saving face... That's probably the key to the whole thing.
Idk good luck! 🍻🤙🏽💯
Deep breath. Use love. If you must stay at that job working with that person then kill them with kindness. Pay it forward here and it will come back to you somehow / someday.
What is the nature of a conflict ? Does he attack you on a personal level (character) or he doubts your professionalism/skills ? Anyway , if you totally can’t not work with him, minimize direct contacts tete-a-tete. Make all the communication traceable, only in writing, so it’s clear who is doing and is responsible for what exactly, what are the objectives and how you measure results. Let him know also that you are open for a feedback but in writing so you can analyse it. I don’t know the details , so this piece of advice is general af (also more suitable for corpo environment, if you work at the construction site - prob it’s just better to take him out for a drink and just ask directly WTF, dude ?:)) but in my experience ppl who make us feel “uncomfortable” point out to our weaknesses or mirror something that also exists in us. It doesn’t mean you should just accept the situation, but understanding what is your lesson here helps. Sometimes, if you really “got” the lesson, person or a source of a conflict disappears automatically :) take care 🫂
Im thinking of coming in an hour early to minimize contact with him
He won't relent until I bend the knee and kiss the ring 🙃
Repent! Quit your job! Slack off!
