I'm just wondering what you guys would do in my position. The CD where I work is fucking amazing. This guy copies everyone elses work, NEVER is original, and always causes conflicts within the company. His attitude is always negative, and I feel like I can't work to my full potential because of him. I love the company we are at, and EVERYONE else at this company of 40+ is extremely talented and fun to be around.
I'm loosing my mind here. 2 years of this and im finally snapping.
Any suggestions?

that sounds about right to me. very typical. if worse comes to worse, part ways with the cock and the company. or just be honest and go up to him/her and to him/her his work is shit.

I have had a CD that copied everything - he was a cool guy but it wore real thin some times, especially when my original ideas would get shot down and replaced with an obvious RIP.
Quit.

lol, I can see myself here, only because everyone else in the company for the most part see's through his madness. Things are changing a little bit, but its like, this guy copies work thats not even ours?! This happens on a nearly daily basis too.

I hear ya Scottizzle, all the sites I saw from my old CD looked like either Apple or Lexus.

find a way to get him fired...
or else, start looking.

get close enough to him that you can joke around with him. then start joking on his work all the time. "nice template, what you working for lexus now? just kidding man, jeez, relax."
you know the drill

lol. I straight up told him today. I was just getting agitated and he was making a blatant copy of someones work, and asked me what I thought...
I just said "looks just like the first guys who did it looked'.
The owner is out of town, but when he gets back, I am going to discuss this. We got close to having the convo a few times, but I held back as to not step on anyones toes...but this is rediculous. he is starting to do pixel for pixel copies of other peoples work. THIS WONT WIZERK ;D
yea bud, I work for pint. you live in SD I see? Howdy, dont know any people that post on NT that live around here ;D

Agreed if you been there 2 years and you are still below someone who has no talent get his job or move elsewhere.

You dont happen to work at my old company do you? Sounds strangley familiar.

- Scottizzle0

Naw, I work in canada. But your story rings true.
Although my old CD didnt actually do any work. All he did was surf porn, play guitar and write to women he was having affairs with.
Kicker was when he threatened to leave they offered to triple his salary.
