I am really starting to hate my colleague. I do half his work, am being asked to review and fix his work by my supervisor and now I was informed by the boss that he complained that I review his work. He is such an ingrate, if I didn’t fix his work it would be all wrong. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

No, I meant that if he’s complaining to the boss, now is the right time to rehash this. If you don’t want to review his work anymore, you have an opening to discuss it. [ Reply | More

This! Say you are glad he raised that question, you feel that the current set up doesn't work for you too. Then ask for what you really want. Do you want to take on some of his responsibility and thus ask for promotion/raise later? Is there anyone else who can review his work so you don't have to? [ Reply | More

You've posted about this incessantly. You need to do something about it. Talk to your boss. "How would you like me to proceed? If I don't review his work, it's wrong and takes more time for me to do my job. I think the best solution here would be for us to redistribute some work, and for my title to be adjusted accordingly."

Stop doing his job. Let him fail. If he makes mistakes he's responsible. [ Reply | More

THIS. Particularly if he doesn't like or appreciate your help- that actually makes it easier for you. Tell your supervisor that your colleague refuses to let you review his work and let all be revealed. [ Reply | More

My supervisor doesn’t have the specific expertise to even question our work. That’s why I am asked to review it. [ Reply | More

You shouldn't do anything that you're not getting paid to do. So don't do it. [ Reply | More
