Re: Jealousy in the TW Workplace?

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

It is everywhere, and it is especially prone to happen the person is a sub-par 
performer in difficult economic times.  The common thread in all these events is 
that the person on the receiving end seems vulnerable to them because of youth, 
gender, ethnicity, whatever, AND lets them get away with it.

If the individual behaving this way reports to you, then you start discussing 
the behavior with HR so there's a track record of it.  If the person reports to 
the same manager you do, you start discussing it with your manager.  If the 
person reports to some other manager, start discussing it with that person. 
Don't try to analyze why the person is behaving that way, just discuss the 
behavior. Dealing with this sort of thing is a management responsibility, but 
even the best management can only deal with things it knows about.
