How do I make it clear (non-dramatically) that I’ll resign if a colleague is promoted to management of our division, or am I being dramatic?
Situation: Our boss has resigned as a way to return to her residence nation. She advised the corporate in January, left in August, they’re terribly sluggish on changing her (complete different story). There is one colleague of mine, a undertaking supervisor named Bob, in our group’s IT division, who needs her function. He will not be a good colleague, regardless of being charming and charismatic. He is, in actual fact, a liar of all types.
I’ve heard him throw everybody in our division underneath the bus in varied undertaking conferences as explanations as to why his tasks are behind, even if the issues he claims he’s ready on have by no means been requested (no tickets, no emails, no texts, no Teams messages). He incessantly tries to push his undertaking administration work (equivalent to coordinating vendor set up dates, finish consumer coaching/supplies, and buy request coordinations) onto members of our workforce, though the remainder of us are operations, not tasks, and the work will not be inside our realm.
Nonwork lies embody his a number of helicopter crashes whereas within the Marines (however he doesn’t know fundamental phrases/information about service and so on), his buy of a number of acres in southeast Colorado counties which have the Colorado River operating by means of them (the Colorado river doesn’t run there), and all his Black Ops navy work (you don’t speak about that with civilians for those who did it, which I don’t suppose he did anyhow).
Normally I’d simply roll my eyes with all this, however now he’s telling increased up people (who will make the choice on who will change our boss) that our workforce has rallied behind him and are encouraging him to go for the function (we aren’t), that we’ve all mentioned we’d like to work underneath him (we’d not all love that), and that he is aware of our workflow (he has been onsite 3 days the previous 2 months, and isn’t out there by way of Teams, and extremely sluggish on e-mail). And this wouldn’t fear me besides the individuals who will make the choice are all distant, overseas. And he has their ear, and like I mentioned, he’s charming and nice and charismatic.
I can’t work underneath him. As an instance of his poor skilled habits, he utterly iced me out for a week, refusing to reply to something (even in conferences), as a result of the week prior, I refused to do the work of talking with a vendor and coordinating gear pickup/dropoff associated to a undertaking (I’m operations, not tasks, and my plate was already full). He lies like a rug.
How do I get the message throughout that I received’t work for him? or am I being ridiculous?
