      Sounds like his self esteem is the problem that he’s trying to fix..at your expense.

      Is he someone you report to or just work alongside? If he’s just trying to pick holes in the contractors because he feels jealous or inadequate why not ask him outright if that’s why he feels the need to focus his attention on what others are doing instead of focusing on his work.

      Ask him if he’d like to talk about it and get it all into the open – ask him out loud so the rest of the office know you’re making an effort to resolve this ‘issue’ that must be having a negative impact on productivity.

        ...or at least make sure he knows he has one coming to him if he continues. Sometimes all people need is a nudge in the right direction.

          Yes keep up the 'good' work!
          The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

          But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

            just work along side him.

            ive sat at lunch with the guy and listened to him tell me about some sci fi books ( that i have no interest in at all) - but made effort to listen an talk with him, i make a conscious effort to be pleasant and civil to everyone here as i see myself as a guest working here. - i.e. when in rome etc etc...

            self esteem - well hes about 40 - single - an probably a virgin. his idea of humour is trying to belittle others, yet every time he tries he gets slated.

            management refer to him as a 'pratt', but hes been here since he was 17.... longerr than most of the office out together.

                Sounds like a guy I used to work with, caught him hacking into my account and breaking into HR files so he could find out how much the contractors earned. I reported him for the hacking thing and let them know about his other activities. He got a verbal warning. I'd give him plenty of kindly warnings before this. As a rule though it's not worth rocking the baot because the contractor always falls in! Best to work his game against him, when he shouts surfing the net again, just say "why are you surfing the net again?" or a simple "sorry what are you talking about" these guys hate confrontation. have a quiet word with him and ask him what is problem is and how you can resolve it?

                    Well it's clear you're describing Baggy (40 - single - virgin).
                    Baggy that kind of behaviour is just not on.
