I have a coworker who is constantly pushing his workload to my to-do list. He has been with the company for about a year or so and is somewhat of a kiss-a.s.s with the supervisor.
The f.u.c.k.ed part about the whole thing is that my supervisor is never around to monitor who is doing what and at what speed. I can be working my a.s.s off and the team will get credit.
This guy would wait for me to do a project and right about when I am to finish, he would jump in and do one or two things so that he can say he have part in the project. I can't refuse his help because he would tell the supervisor that I am not a team player and that he was just trying to help.
He would ask me to do some of his work, and if I say "no" he would then tell the supervisor that I am not a team player. He always does his best to take credit and not do anything.
Please help. I am about to quite this job just because of him. Help. How do I deal with this?

He knows he would be screwed with out your help. Don't let him intimidate you. Don't do such a good job of things that way he won't rush to take all the credit. The last thing he wants is to look bad! Just cover your A s s. Do a little brown nosing of your own, he'll get the message to back off. Try something before you just up and quit a good job. You need to let him know he better be respecting you to get what he needs from you. Going directly to the Supervisor might not be a good idea, that is his territory right now. You need to make your presence more known to the big man before you can talk to him about something like that and have your proof and your facts to back it up when you do! Give your self a chance the Supervisor might pick up on your good work.

The first thing you should do is talk with your supervisor about the problem, It probably will not do much good right away but at least the boss is aware that there may be a problem. If the boss does not help you out then I would start telling the co-worker no! just no! explain that you are part of a team & that you are tired of covering for him/her. The first few days you may be low on production but when questioned you have a reason. Never let someone push you around.

Before you say anything to the co-worker, go to your supervisor and tell them the details as you've outlined them here. THEN you should be able to start refusing some of the stuff he's pushing on to you. If he tries to tell on you, the supervisor will already be aware of the situation and should be able to anticipate what he'll say and nip the problem in the bud. Best of luck!

I can empathize with you. I will invite my supervisor for a private lunch and tell him or her what is truly going on. If the supervisor is indifferent to the matter, i will talk to my supervisor's superior and discuss this issue. If nothing positive is happening, start to look for another job and secure it before quitting.

There is absolutely no reason to put up with crap like that. first, you must tell them in no uncertain terms to knock it off. document it. Then you need to report it to your supervisor. then it is up to your employer to make sure it stops once you report it. document it. If the behaviors continue, the third step would be filing a complaint with your state's human rights commission. every state has one but the name may be slightly different. there would be a phone hearing without attorney's but just you, the judge and your employer on the phone. Once you get a ruling of a violation, your employer should have stopped the behaviors by then. If they have not, you have all the ammo you need to file sexual harrassment suit in district court. make sure that you document everything - names, what happened, dates and what was said.

This happens all the time around most industries... The truth is in the long run you're going to be his supervisor and your going to have to discipline him... Don't quit, keep up the hard work it is noticed

Document the work you do and the time you spend doing it. Your co-worker is going to try to screw you over whether you refuse to take his work or not. You need to have physical evidence that backs up your side of the story. That way, when he goes crying like a baby to the boss, you can call him a liar and produce the documentation to prove it.
