Being in people management is cool, until you have to DEAL with the people lol.

Dealing with a situation now where someone on my team is leaning on privilege to not do or stall on work being done and it’s getting frustrating. What’s worse is he’s a white male and I KNOW a Black person would not get away with this behavior. I’m going to start with HR because our boss isn’t helping deal with this issue.

Have you ever had a challenge with someone on your team who does not report to you?

I really do enjoy management and the team, people, but it is a different story when you have something unsavory. Especially when it isn’t up to you or not somebody that is on your team. I try to set timelines, expectations with the manager and the person and go from there. Some people really do push you all the way to having to elevate what should be a simple thing.

It is wild how much of a problem this issue has become. It’s not good and our boss needs to do something about it.

"What’s worse is he’s a white male and I KNOW a Black person would not get away with this behavior." Double standards are so fun 🙄. I've deal with a few of these types, but luckily my manager is no BS and handles things so I don't have to. I'd be careful about going to HR. Doesn't sound like you have much of a choice, but don't forget that HR is NOT your friend...

HR is not your friend lol. That’s one of my favorite sayings. Yea, I’m going to talk to my boss about it again and go from there. Let’s see what happens.
