[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He calls me at least once a week to tell me he's running late instead of letting management know.  This morning I had 5 missed calls (3 to the office, 2 to my cell) while I was in a meeting.  He has issues with his PC, occassionally comes over asking me to do the particular task to avoid getting his PC fixed and constantly requesting me to reset his passwords because he kept getting them confused.

It's all these little things that just bugs the heck out of me but too petty to complain to upper management.  I have told him many times to get his issues resolved and still doing these things for him just get him to leave me alone.[/quote]

The next time, answer your phone, and tell him that you aren't his secretary and he should call management because you're not going to pass on messages for him. And when he asks you to fix whatever on his computer, either tell him you're busy or tell him you'll do it one last time, but it is the last time because you have your own work to do. He should go to IT if he has a problem. What a pain.

I have several older colleagues who routinely ask me for help with their computer issues. If I am not too busy, I usually try to help. But if I really am busy, I have no hesitation in telling them sorry, can't help, you'll have to ask someone else or IT this time. They're fine with that because they understand that we all have work to do. Your colleague is just taking advantage of you.[/quote]
