[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok I'm in a similar work situation. Except all managers don't work (fun!). Here is how I dealt with it: I found a new job. Seriously, though, I gave my concerns to upper management and not only was I told to mind my own business I was then considered 'not a team player'. So I took my talents elsewhere. Good thing too not long after I left that ship sank fast. There is a saying...a fish rots from its head.[/quote]

OP here - I have been contemplating that, and my supervisor knows how I feel about the incompetent colleague. But my supervisor has done many things to make my work environment the best it can be (flexibility, telecommuting, etc.) and gave me an excellent performance review. But the incompetent colleague remains.

I'm sorry you faced a similar situation yet congratulations on getting out. Part of me doesn't want this incompetent colleague to drive me out of an otherwise great work situation. That is partly why I seek advice on "how to deal with an idiot" vs. removing the idiot or removing me from the situation. I am thinking that if leaving is not an option, I am simply going to have to deal with the idiot in the least stressful way possible.[/quote]
