How to deal with someone,Who wants your job!

Well it's not very difficult is it, you just man up, go up to him and tell him to stop trying to get your job.

Its not as simple as that though,Like i said he is Pally with backup supervisor...and its not as if i can take it up with managment or something,They are the type that if the jobs getting done they don't care who does it.
I wouldn't mind but past couple of weeks they have been messing around with my rotars,i lost a couple of hours as well...and guess who gets put in for when they change my rotars...him!

If this chap is rushing to get things done quicker but making mistakes then let him continue doing so, the more mistakes he makes the better you will look.

If you gather further evidence of favoritism in your workplace then you can possibly ask to to have a chat with your supervisors boss.

The job you got fobbed off to do, is it in your usual remit of activities?
 
you really have 4 options that i can see.

1. do nothing and hope the problem doesnt materialise

2. keep letting them make mistakes, fix the mistakes and inform your supervisor of what has happened

3. talk to your bosses

4. find another job
 
The fish gutting business is indeed a very cut throat, as my cousin Szczeosny told me.

1)You can rat him out saying he is bad worker and need to slow down.
2)Report him to party official as traitor and spy, great threat to supreme leader.
3)Try to match is speed and superior skill
 
If he's making errors by rushing tasks then bring them to the attention of his superior. Aside from that, all you can do is improve your own work rate and try to buddy up to a higher up.

This!

I had the same kind of problem with a guy where i work. Was coming in earlier than me, showing he could work faster and harder. His downfall, he was sloppy, made mistakes and refused to listen.

If you're good at your job then it'll shine through, if it goes un-noticed and the people who make choices choose to sack you and keep him. Then it's their loss and they'll have to put up with the poor work for months on end, you get to carry on and they've let a valuable worker go elsewhere. As far as your concerned don't worry about it, it's just a job. Jobs are rare these days but never worth getting stress sick over.

Well there's five if you count yhacks 'badger solution'.


Other than that Paradisiac's third option is the one I'd take. You need to know where you stand and what management thinks of you. The answer may not be to your liking, but it beats the stress that comes from being in this position.

I'd do Number 2, i'd highlight every mistake and tell your boss it's unprofessional
 
Back-up supervisor sounds like such a made up title, like he's not good enough to be a full time supervisor so is only required when busy.

You could also see what your contract says about your job roles and if it's that different a job then refuse to do them!
 
Sabotage his work, if he is making mistakes, make sure he makes one that is big enough to get noticed.

Or ring the office asking for him (use a different name obviously, and hide your number, or get a mate to do it), keep doing this until they get sick of people ringing for him, might work.
 
I'd say it all depends on what you do and where you work.

Is your job role officially sanctioned?
Is it in your contract?

If you are doing an actual job which he isn't employed to do then given the rights you have has an employee, I doubt they can just get rid of you and give him the job instead.

However if you are doing a job that neither of you are actually down in contract to do, then I can see why he might be trying his hardest to get in there.
