He is sneaky type , likes to kiss boss' s a s s, complains about every one behind their back. Lazy, always want to take advantage of you. And he approaches to the boss, he seems like he is very busy and very hard working and yet he does not do anything but complain, whine and take advantage of people. He will befriend with you if you do him favors, otherwise, he will stab you in the back.
How do you deal with co-workers like that?

Many times, he will set you up.. like asking you to do something for him and if you somehow don't do the way he wants, he will complain to the boss. If I go complain, I will look bad in front of the boss because i am not brown noser

I have had a co-worker like this. I've had multiple co-workers that have one of each of these characteristics and I've had co-workers who have them all. They're mostly gone now.
I understand how difficult the following advice is to take, but it does work: Do everything you can to avoid him. Talk to him as little as possible, but stay professional. If he starts complaining to you about other co-workers, excuse yourself and tell him you have to get back to work. If he asks you to do him a favor, tell him you'll do it when you have time, but make sure your work comes first and that you're always covering your own a$$. I've learned that dealing with difficult people is a matter of changing what you're doing, not trying to change the other person. Is it at all possible that you are allowing him to be this way around you? Maybe he doesn't realize it's not acceptable behaviour to you.
Anyway, he will eventually burn his own a$$ if you take a step back, stop participating in any gossip and focus on your job, not his. And don't forget, your boss isn't stupid. He wouldn't be a boss if he were. If your co-worker is blaming you for mistakes in work he has asked you to do, and he's not holding himself accountable for it, your boss will see that, and it's not a good quality.
Also, do not approach your boss about it. It will make you look like a whiner and a complainer. Just stay focused, do your job to the best of your ability and remember, you're not there to make friends. You're there to do a job.

You cannot control anyone else's behavior and trying to "out" his poor behavior will reflect poorly on you. Your best strategy is to remain professional, do your job to your best abilities and remain possitive. Don't let the a** kisser get you down. If your boss is smart, she will figure out what is really going on.
Getting dragged into it will only bring you down, and then you become part of the problem. Take the high road.

I have one of those too, pretty much of the same charersterics as you described, you sure we aren't in the same company? LOL
I can't stand it either. Nobody likes him & now that he has a new seat he thinks hes hot s h i t.
I am waiting for some Karma to come his way, but right now, I'm just doing my job.

Now, I comprehend that it truly is basically the way that individual is and that i won't have confidence my co-workers to maintain some thing to themselves so i do no longer say issues anymore.

Stay out of his way. He is on his way up and you will work for him someday. Sorry, I hate this as much as you but I've worked for the same company for 29 years and have seen this happen over and over again.

try to avoid them at all cost. Just do what you gotta do and try not to get sucked into his bs. As long as you continue to do a good job and try not to get caught up in any drama, it will eventually pay off. Bosses notice everything, so believe me, he'll get what's coming to him.

Beat his azz outside of work. Just kidding, you think. Tell him to get off your butt, or you will find a way to make life H E Dbl Hockey sticks for him, and mean it.

First of all, stop worrying about the schmoe. Do your job. Don't befriend him either, just leave him out of your personal realm, keep it completely professional.
