How do yall handle coworkers asking for help about everything?

[CapitalforCapital]

And y’all be the same nikkas blaming cacs when you get passed up for a promotion. OP is not manager material.

 

[The Half-Blood FKA Prince]

Nah they need help for everythin. and jump in front to present your ideas like its “theirs”

Think of the perfect way to do it, then tell them to do the exact opposite.

When the shyt hits the fan be like "i tried my best to help them"

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

Suck it up and take one for the team as you never know when you’ll need the favor returned.

 

[brandy]

I would help them, but I always document what exactly I did and create a time slot on the calendar when I helped them.

I document everything and send emails to them confirming what I did. Folks have gotten folks in trouble or poor performance because they purposely ask for stuff so the other person can't finish their work.

If it's consistently a problem, make sure your boss knows that you are helping them as well as your workload.

Help them out the more they know it helps me out less call backs for everyone.

Thats the thing bruh. I figure everything out.

dog. bytch does not slee. she takes my process and finish the work im suppose to be working on. Then gets on the call the next day talking about how she did this and that, with my methods/ideas

 

[hatealot]

Way i deal with this is by telling them half of the sht so they dont say im not a team player, since i cant flat out say i cant help them…

You said she's indian. I cannot stand indian people and their fukking questions. Its cultural for them to ask thousands of questions. This is why they live on quora.

Indians only respect hard no. Of course you don't want her to put a compliant. But show her where she needs to be looking for resources and do not answer her messages.

Again, I stress again,she's indian she is not going to stop asking questions.

 

[AQz]

Ask them what they tried to solve the issue as a starting point. This will show they at least attempted something before coming to you to do their job

I have the un fortunate exp of having Indians as customers/clients. She is 100% probing you for questions to copy your work and logic. Have her start forwarding her questions to her direct supervisor. Act dumb, ignore or delay her questions. She has a senior title, she needs to act like it.

I understand being a good teammate and wanting to help out but Indians go over board.

[HabitualChiller]

Discuss the queries with your manager and the approach you plan on taking.

Set up a framework that tracks queries coming in and the responses. You will want to ensure that you're not getting the same queries.

Put more of the responsibility on them e.g. have the submit queries in a prescribed way, have them setup the meeting to go through queries, encourage them to provide proposals.


Depending on how the queries are coming through, you might want to agree with your manager a turn around time for providing a response. If people know it will take 2 days to get a response, there is more incentive for them to independently find the solution.

This...

Or you could take the lazy man's way and just pretend like you're garbage at your job. Take forever to get simple, unimportant projects done. That way, kats think you're inefficient, so they'll just ask for tips from someone more "effective".

 

[BunchePark]

Nah she indian lmao

she older than you? you might be stuck

 

[KBtheKey]

Man help them folks. Or get someone else to help them. It'll increase productivity if they actually needed whatever help you give them. Work is all about being as efficient and effective as possible.
