I have to share an office with 4 other people at work. I have been in this situation for 3 years without a single problem until now.

The moved someone into our office (not a new guy), he use to work out in the field alone with one other worker which was his helper.

This guy is very inconsiderate to the people he shares the office with. All 3 of us have had it.

He has loud converstations in our small space with members of the field when they are in the office, converstaions are non work related. (would not be so bad if they were quiet)

He is a peer and he acts like he should be the boss.

We all have to work on projects together yet he feels the need to not communicate his progress on jobs when leaving a job behind for someone to finish, we have no idea what he has done and therefore it takes twice the time to get done.

He makes rude comments and swears alot in fits of rage while working, making everyone else uncofortable.

How can we deal with this jerk?

All of you as a group must first try to talk to him and rectify this. If this is not possible then you must AS A GROUP talk to your immediate supervisor and follow the chain of command until your problems are solved. Good luck. Work is stressful enough without having to deal with people like this. Since he is used to field work then maybe he has no social skills and does not even realize what he is doing.

I would record him, get his swearing and rudeness recorded along with the others sharing the space and take it to your boss, explain to him that it is frustrating to work with someone that is so unprofessional, and about how it causes the rest of you extra work because of his lack of communication and requires you to put extra time in to the project; therefore effecting time management and costing more money.Sounds like you really need your co-workers to step up to the plate with you and let the big boss know what is really happening in the work place, if no-one in charge knows nothing can be done.

All I can suggest is that all three of you get together and discuss a stragey to confront him about it. Try to talk to him, but not attack him. Express to him that you all need to work together as a team to achieve your best success. If he is against your suggestions and continues on the current path, I feel that the three of you have no choice but to go to your supervisor. It already is affecting your work and will only continue to get worse.

I would desire to ask your self why a female could permit her guy take nude pictures of her whilst they are so actual printed all over the internet if that's what the guy in posession of those pictures would desire to be certain to do? i does no longer sense harm, yet i could ask your self why he had to have those style of nude %. of his ex girlfiends (or perhaps me) plastered throughout his workstation. that could be slightly over the suited and that i come across it extraordinary. As for him observing porn, that is common. men are seen sexual creatures, want a launch greater frequently than women human beings, they do masturbate greater by using fact the guideline, and that is basically a human male function. It has no longer something to do with their girlfriends, better halves, or fanatics. The porn they use to masturbate to is basically for delusion and stimulation applications. it is not like the guy is going to hurry out and take a inspect to start a relationship with the girls human beings interior the porn, and it is not by using fact his female does not fulfill him. that is enormously much launch and that's the long and wanting it. he isn't doing something TO YOU.. he has an extremely extraordinary activity - accumulating nudes of his ex girlfriends. i could say the two settle for it or reject it....?? it is your call.
