How to Deal With an Untrustworthy Co-Worker

How to Deal With an Untrustworthy Co-Worker



We like to think we can trust our colleagues, but at one point or another you may encounter a co-worker who is untrustworthy. He or she may blame you for incomplete work, may sabotage your assignments, or reveal to the office personal information given in trust. When you encounter a shady colleague, the following suggestions will help protect you.

Step1
Document everything. If you and the co-worker are required to work together, document the assignments you are responsible for. Send an email or memo to your co-worker confirming your portion of the assignment. Keep a copy of the email or memo for your records.


Step2
If you are concerned that your co-worker may accuse you of fabricating the email at a later date, copy yourself on the email. This way, your co-worker knows you have a time-stamped copy of the email.


Step3
If your co-worker will have access to your work, maintain your own updated file copy. Update your file copy regularly as you edit and amend your work.


Step4
Do not share personal information with co-workers. Keep your conversation professional and succinct.


Step5
Lock your desk with a key and your computer files with a password. If you have sensitive information, such as a client list, make sure it is secure.
