konfusedgee: You are handling your responsibility he is handling his. So what exactly do you want. I want to advise you not get involved in this power tuzzle nonsense in the office. You are there to earn your money. if he isolates himself or keeps to himself how doesit affect you. some made the points belo "He won't mind dragging you down with himself. So be careful. Assign duties to him. Let him know that he'll need to cooperate with you to make things work. Take your mind off revenge and intimidation and focus on getting results. Try to empathize with him and help him navigate through his hard time. You never know what tomorrow holds" Let me warn you, the office is a war place what if the table turns again. Do not take that advise everyone is an adult you dont need to sit him down like a baby. You have not said you are now his boss. So stay on lane, YOU MAY EVEN BE WORSE. But is just a matter of time before it starts to manifest. |

Once a boss always a boss is his mindset. You need to stop seeing him as what he was and see him as what he is .... someone under your supervision. You treat him accordingly... he needs to follow instructions just like everyone else. If he doesn't... then the same protocols that apply to others must apply to him. If you don't... then you will be losing control of your other subordinates and showing your superiors that you cannot manage your department. Why would your superiors then consider you for promotion? They are more likely to consider demoting you and replacing you with someone with more balls. Follow protocols.... verbal... tell him your expectations. If he doesn't follow... write him up. If no changes... and you have the power... suspend him without pay. If you don't have the power... recommend suspension to your boss... who because of his history... may fire him. It's for him to decide his destiny. You simply just need to live up to your expectations..... a professional....be all business with him.... no sentiments.....take no prisoners. |

konfusedgee: Leave that dude alone. Put yourself in his shoes if you were demoted, will you interact freely. Give honour to whom honour is due, and forget I am now his boss mentality. When Michael became in charge of the Angels after God banished Lucifer, he dare not bring railing accusation against Lucifer when they met, because he gave him that respect that he was there before him. Instead he said the Lord rebuke you. Task him to do his job if he has to do it and leave it at that. There mindset of I am now his superior is not correct. |

tayolak: Guess you have always been perfect? The culture of dragging people that are already down is not correct. He committed fraud, should he then comit suicide to satisfy people? I have met people along my way who were higher than me, older than me and richer than me. I may not stoop or bow to them, but in my heart, I always have that respect and regard for them, that they were here before me. That's my principle, and I am not forcing it on anyone |

If actually ur story is true and u are not a jealous type, I suggest u face ur own work and live him alone. we have many of such allover even in my office, the only way I treat them is to ignore them as if they don't exist. Later he/she we start to the relate |

Being bossy is a nun for all but it becomes a problem if it develops into egocentric measure and as such tends too be the case putting one on his place doesn't matter at all in these scenery |

konfusedgee:Treat him with compassion. Make him feel like you still respect him as a boss even though he is now your equal. Over time he will get along with his new position. |

When he was bossing you around, he didn't look at your face. If you are bossing him around don't look at his face too. Clear the guy say na work u come work say u no dae cut out for any nonsense |

Bro what you should do is get close to him amd encourage him... Tell him you understand how he feels right now. Cos nobody be saint for this country. Tell him he can still find his way back to the top. But it will start with him maling impact in the department he is right now. Tell him of you where in hos shoes, you could have done the same thing and even those other oga maybe doing same too. This will make him loosen up a bit and work better with you. Just gv him that same respect to you would give him at his old position. If you do this you will gain hos favour and the reason why he wasn't sacked was cos he had good backing and if he becomes your friend, that backings can help you too in that organisation. Table can turn at anytime. |

Act like the better person by not threading the path that led to his pitfall. The departmental activities were going smooth before his coming right? Let it continue that way with or without him. He's still your senior despite the demotion. Show him you are a better manager of people and watch your blessings grows. konfusedgee: |
