Sample Letter for Complaint Concerning Co-Worker
Dear [Supervisor/HR Manager], I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the behavior and conduct of a co-worker in our workplace. I feel compelled to address this issue as it has been having a negative impact on my productivity, morale, and overall well-being. I would like to provide a detailed account of the incidents that have transpired between myself and [Name of Co-worker], along with an explanation of how it has affected both my personal and professional life. Furthermore, I hope this helps shed light on the severity of the situation and prompts appropriate action on your part. Firstly, I have noticed that [Co-worker's Name] consistently displays a complete disregard for workplace etiquette and professionalism. For instance, [he/she] frequently interrupts my work, making it difficult for me to concentrate and meet deadlines. This disruptive behavior not only hampers my productivity but also creates unnecessary stress and frustration. Moreover, [Co-worker's Name] has, on multiple occasions, made inappropriate comments or jokes that create an uncomfortable and hostile work environment. This behavior is not only offensive but also goes against our company's policy on harassment and bullying. It is essential to address this issue promptly to maintain a healthy work environment. Additionally, [Co-worker's Name] has consistently failed to meet their job responsibilities and instead has delegated tasks and responsibilities to me without consent or justification. This excessive workload has affected my ability to complete my own assigned tasks in a timely and efficient manner. Despite my attempts to resolve this issue directly with [Co-worker's Name], they have shown no willingness to rectify the situation, putting an unfair burden on my shoulders. To further compound the problem, [Co-worker's Name] often fails to communicate important information and deadlines, which creates confusion and prevents effective collaboration. This lack of professionalism and accountability undermines team cohesion and negatively impacts our collective performance. I have made multiple attempts to address these concerns with [Co-worker's Name] personally, hoping for a resolution within the team. However, my efforts have been met with resistance, divisiveness, and even retaliation. Given the lack of progress through informal channels, I have no choice but to elevate this issue to you, the appropriate authority, to ensure a fair and unbiased resolution. I kindly request that you initiate an investigation into these matters and take the necessary actions to rectify the situation promptly. This could involve anything from mediation sessions to disciplinary actions, as deemed appropriate based on your findings. It is crucial for the harmony and productivity of our team that this matter is treated seriously and addressed promptly. I trust that you will handle this complaint with the utmost confidentiality and professionalism, ensuring a resolution that supports a positive and inclusive work environment. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Employee Number/Designation] [Your Contact Information]
