Malazan Empire: Maark Abbott - Viewing Profile - Malazan Empire

RFK doesn't even believe in germ theory. How is this happening.

Republicans are asleep at the wheel. I'd like to think they will pay for their mistakes in the end but I worry their takeover will be complete before that can happen.

I work with this guy who is absolutely useless. His uselessness makes more work for me and is very hard to manage. He joined the company a couple of years ago now and I've really tried to help him get embedded and do his job well. He never takes notes, never absorbs any real detail, we go over the same issues again and again with no solutions because it's like his memory has been wiped every time we discuss it. He doesn't have any kind of condition, he's just useless and too busy trying to show off to listen. He's at the same level as me in the management structure so I can't invoke hierarchy. His manager knows he is useless but doesn't have the bandwidth to do anything about it (I'm technically mad about this but I also sympathise). He won't accept or ask for any help to get better at his job. He puts me down in front of people whenever he gets chance but can't make a decision without checking with me 1 on 1. Fortunately everyone knows I can do my job so he only embarrasses himself trying to get one up on me. I helped interview him so it's on me as much as anyone else that we made a bad hire.

Usually I only call him out in 1 on 1 calls when I have to repeat myself to him or he does something stupid. I've given him constructive 360 feedback. Recently I upped it to small meetings and emails with only a few people copied and who I know agree with me. Today I did it in a meeting with 40 plus people in it.

I'm completely justified SO WHY DO I FEEL TERRIBLE?!?
