thanks for all of your replies guys...
and no, I do not consider myself any of the names people have called me but that's fine if that's the impression I've given you...
I guess I should have mentioned that all the other people included in the reply email were colleagues that are also fed up with this guy's malicious and advantageous attitude.
And no, I am not here to impress any ladies about me working in IT, I'm happily married... and for that poster that said my boss will think of me as a wanker or that I would be in hot water, well you guys were just plain wrong...
anyways, I went to that meeting with a calm attitude and yet all hell broke lose, lol. My boss started by saying he wanted to hear both 'sides of the story' so I went first. I told both of them how this guy has always been very deceitful and has had everyone fooled by always pretending to be busy with meaningless duties; and how he is always boasting that he is going to help me and my other colleagues and yet he always misteriously dissapears or comes up with urgent things that changes his plans.
Well, then it was his turn to talk and as expected started defending himself and talking a lot of b.s. At this very moment I could not hold any of his b.s. anymore and I slammed my pager and cell phone on the table and told both of them that I've had enough and used the F word plenty of times lol and started to walk out telling them that that's it, that I'll talk to the director, etc just cursing on my way out. My boss asked me to calm down and explain, well then I looked at my coworker and told him how he was so full of it and how he is such an a**h**le when he knows how he has been, telling him how not only does he not help us but also stockpiles supplies for himself and does not let anyone use when he knows we've ran out of supplies and cannot complete our part of these client projects. I gave him and my boss other examples of how he has acted recently and my boss just kept asking him if that was true and the guy just kept answering "that was the smart thing to do of helping out [himself]"... well then my just got pissed off and asked him why did he disobeyed known orders about that kind of stuff that he knew very well not to do... he just kept on justifying himself.
at the end, our boss said he had heard enough and that we had two options; to either keep things the way they've been and treat each other as team mates or else he would start imposing micro management on us. I told him that imposing himself on us would be perfect... I told him how some people just dont grasp free will and good will towards other and sometimes dictatorships are necessary... he just smirked. Well at the end he said he could not deny the numbers on those ticket reports and would give some of my clients to this guy and also take some from the other guys and give them to him...lol. He also said that he would come see us every morning and that we must have a game plan for each day and whoever has less to do would be given other people's duties. I told him that he can do whatever he wants but that if he is not going to fire this jerk then he should at least not force me to work with him... I told him 'I mean I've already worked here two years busting my a** without no one helping me so I'll be ok as long you give him some of my clients but anything else from him I dont want...
well, it was a full day of drama so we'll see tomorrow how things go. Some people said I should be grateful that I have a job and I am. And yet I do not see why I have to be the loser in this situation, well maybe if I keep acting like a rebel and cursing everyone out I'd probably would and yet that would be my only mistake, I'm talking I'm against some 40 something guy that knows how to work the system and pretend the victim and keep his coolness and phony self... oh well
