My coworker is a total lazy person and lives in his own lala land where he thinks he is a rock star sales person for the company. He is arrogant and backstabbing as well. It got so bad that I told my boss I refused to even speak to him again.
He said that he wanted to promote me over him. Out of pettiness, I agreed just to spite him and didn't think it through. Little I knew the mess that I was getting myself into. Now I am his boss and he is absolutely disrespectful and even more incompetent than ever. My boss/owner knows it and yet still doesn't fire him because he would rather for lazy guy to leave on his own. I cant keep working like this but I shouldn't have to quite because of all this! I am so hopeless

Been in that boat. See my last post. Leave now. Being promoted over them is worse, I've learned. As a colleague, they can't expect you to carry them. As a supervisor, you ARE expected to carry them.
