He's now in the same level with you. Man up and make him understand that. After all he's not your employer and can't influence your salary. |

Do u know what it feels like to be in his shoes right now. He is a bruised Lion. Let him be, if you can't help him by understanding what he is going through, giving him more time to adjust to the very bitter current reality, pointing out to him kindly quietly and loving why he needs to readjust and fit back in...at least don't hurt him by escalating his issues or making management see reason why to push him away...then at least ignore him. The won't add his salary to yours when he is sacked. Maybe he is the hen in his home, if you crush the hen who will fend for the chicks Nobody holy pass. On a very good day u ma go collect your own kick back too. Na person like you go don expose his ass. The work place is a terrible dog eat dog environment, people scheming to push each other out to impress the boss. Zero love or compassion. Some go as far as diabolism and outright assasinations. Let that guy be abeg, before you fetch yourself vendetta.that company no be ur papa company, u sef will resign or get sacked or demoted someday too. 3 Likes |

konfusedgee: I had a similar experience. Started a job where the my predecessor failed and was demoted to a lesser managerial position. She was arrogant, annoying and rude. She obviously was choleric and aggressive, but most importantly she envied me and wanted me to fail so as to feel good. I made a few mistakes, but this is my advice: 1. Don't encourage over-familiarity. Don't encourage him asking or knowing personal or management decisions and details. 2. Intentionally keep detailed information away from him and don't oblige him anything on personal levels. Look too busy to have his FULL attention 3. Be professional at all times, even at things that doesn't concern him. He will refer to those unprofessional things in the future. 4. Do not think twice to give him official verbal warning and written queries. Carry your immediate boss along or the HR. 5. Give him lesser responsibilities that you think he will feel too big to undertake and give him query if he doesn't do it (he definitely will not do it well). 6. Do not lose guard, i repeat, do not lose guard. SET BOUNDARIES! 5 Likes |

First know that the upper management understands what is going on with his situation and everyone around him. Just treat his case with ultmost prejudice. Move on with your normal routine, if need be assign duties to him and if he doesn't oblige simply put it in your reports, but do not engage him in any form of argument. Avoid him as much as u can becos he is simply a time bomb. Trust me, he has more problems to deal with more than u do, so don't let his robe u in. 3 Likes |

Deal with the moment with him. Relate with him as if he's newly employed but is good at what he does. He'll be wondering if u don't know that he was so so & so. I worked for a company years ago. I was later made a manager in one of company's new branches. My former manager was later de-ranked to a supervisor and was sent to work under me in the new branch. Even though he was richer and better experienced than me, I treated him like a supervisor, and if there's anything that involves a collective effort, sort of team work, we reason together. Funny part is, our boss expected certain reactions. But I proved everybody wrong. There was a time I sanctioned him for insubordination and he has to sit up. He later confessed to my boss that he has never seen a guy like me. After I resigned, he became d manager of my branch and he continued to carry on my disciplinary legacy. Human beings are not easy to lead. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Mr man. A retired soldier is still a soldier. You can't call him a civilian. In other words he's still your boss and be careful with him. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Be careful how you treat him at this time no matter the offense that lead to his being demoted, cause he can get back sooner than you expected and it could become a problem for you if you treat him badly or further damage his self esteem. Try and get close to him, you can call him Broz after all he was your superior before now. Just let him know that life is not so predictable and can play a fast one on anyone at any point in time if we are not careful. Let him know it's another learning phase for him to get better when everything is over, and not an end to his career. After that tell him there are sweet aspect of your Departmental job you're sure he'll like to know, outline them and let him make his choice. Don't relate with him like a dept boss, just maintain a horizontal relationship. That way you'll help him understand life from a better perspective and probably get back rightfully on his foot again. If you do this he'll always remember you as a good person and can even pull you higher whenever he has the power to do so. 1 Like |

konfusedgee: The simple term is that he is disgruntled. What you will do to put him in check is that give him a lawful official instruction and wait to see if he will comply. If he doesn't issue him a query. Just wait and watch if he complies. If not issue him the second query. His ego will come down |

konfusedgee: Call him to the side and outline his responsibilities and the deadline. Let him know you will follow up in the team updates. Have team updates and let everybody update what they have done. He will only shame himself if he hasn’t done his tasks. He get mind. If he worked for me I would’ve charged him let him settle police with my money he has been stealing foolish man. 1 Like |
