[quote=Anonymous]How do you work with someone you despise?

I am in a workgroup where I am the senior person responsible for a technical project. I have no direct reports (and I don't want any) but I am required to work with a junior person in my workgroup. This junior person is incompetent. The person regularly fails to complete things and I end up fixing the mess.

I have already gone to my supervisor with documented examples of this person's mistakes. The supervisor has thanked me, had the person apologize with the "I will do better next time" statement, and moved on.  This has been going on for over three years.

The person messed up again last week and I fixed it. This time the documentation will be compiled by another workgroup as it did not just affect our workgroup.

I am so frustrated by this situation. As I see it, I can learn to accept it or get ready to switch to a new job. Except for this one incompetent person, I love my job and would not want to leave.

So how do I best deal with it and work with this incompetent person?[/quote]
