Take it as a coaching moment for both you and the difficult colleague.
It’s apart of being manager, because you’ll have good and bad days with customers and employees as a manager. So you must overcome the obstacles of handling and coaching a difficult employee, because unfortunately it comes with the responsibility.
You were assigned this co worker because they know it’s a difficult task for you and your team member, but they also know you can work with that co worker to get the job done successfully for both of you.
I highly doubt it was on purpose. It probably just worked out that way. You could always ask to be reassigned if you feel like it's not a useful working relationship.
So the only retort to this is to pull said employee aside where there’s no cameras or people and give them a talking to or if need be a punch in the face. I know some will say this is wrong but it’s a dog eat dog world and you’re wearing milkbone underwear.
