I don't know what to do anymore...
I have this good friend at work who I ride with. SUCH a good friend that he went out of his way to help me pick up my son from camp when they called me out of the blue to get him. At work however, he drives me crazy & I'm at my wits end. There have been a number of times when I've had to redo his work for the sake of keeping the warehouse organized... I can't do my job in the midst of the chaos. Not to mention it's simply expected of us. He also doesn't follow direction very well & often needs to ask our supervisor for assurance on tasks & procedures that should be automatic. We've both been there about 3 years & it's as if he doesn't quite get it. I've tried to talk to him but he doesn't want to here it from me. He just takes it as if I'm trying to tell him what to do when all I'm trying to to is be a friend/co-worker. Having exhausted all other options I talked to our supervisor last week & she said that everyone in the office sees it & sat down with him. The next day he put in an effort but now we're back to the same old crap. There was an incident today & I tried to talk to him again but he said he wants to hear it from either our boss or supervisor. He doesn't realize the boss has better things to do than to micro manage him & won't say anything until it's too late & that the supervisor is trying to be suttle. I CAN'T SAVE THIS GUY FROM HIMSELF.
