Unkept boss

My previous boss retired and last year a new one was hired. He has no personality. When I say hello to him in the morning, he just grumbles. He eats his lunch at his desk, even if there are clients with him. If it’s noon, he pulls his lunch out! He coughs constantly; when I mentioned that maybe he should get his lungs checked, he said, “Nah, I’ve been coughing like that since I was a kid.” He hasn’t cleaned or dusted off his desk since he started over a year ago, it is filthy. I’m at my wits end. I don’t want to make trouble for him by going to his superior, plus I don’t like to “rat out” coworkers. What do I do? Our office is small and our desks are 10 feet apart!

Hi Jenn.

So, is this guy your boss or a coworker? Probably both.

Truthfully, what part of his annoying behavior is impacting your ability to get your job done? I ask because you might be wasting energy on these quirks when you could be utilizing that energy on more productive things. Just a thought.

There is nothing about his behavior that is really job performance-related. Hence, going over his head will not really accomplish anything. In fact, they would simply tell you to either deal with it or talk with him about it.

If I were you, I would work on my ignoring skills. If you can ask to be moved closer to the window for example or by the door as a way to get away, then certainly do that. Perhaps you could put on a headset or turn your ipod on in order to drown out his coughing. Either way, try to release your annoyance and come up with some creative ideas of how you might be able to put up with or separate yourself more from this guy. That would be a more productive use of your energy.
