The untouchable...

I have a workmate who is an "---kisser" (sorry for the term, can't think of any good word to put it up)...whatever it is that is going on, he reported it immediately to our chief with an added lies just to make him look good and the others look bad in front of our superior. Most of us are annoyed with his attitude, however, he is untouchable because of his link to our chief (our chief is his godparent on his wedding). As much as our superior try not to hide that she is favoring him, it always shows. And even now that our chief left and another one assumed, he still carries this "air" and continue to do what he likes...how are you gonna deal with workmates like him?

Dealing with your workmate can be a positive experience. While it can make work stressful, it can also motivate you. Just focus on your work. If your co-worker is sabotaging you in any manner, that can't be tolerated. However before talking to your superior you should try resolve the issue with him. Just calmly state how you feel. By being aasertive your co-worker will see that your no push-over and should desist. If he lash out at you, then bring it up with your superior. :)

If you can, avoid the person as much as possible. This is a great way to avoid conflict.

I wouldn't say or do anything regarding this. I would just come in and do my work and make sure that Im doing a good job. If this guy is sucking up and lying then it will show up eventurally. I'd let him get caught up in his own little web.
