My coworker isn’t available during the day often and takes long lunches, is also doing a masters program. I’m not sure how to address this with him?

He's only your co-worker, so you have no control over him. Do his actions negatively affect your work? If not, say nothing to him or anyone else. If yes, then mention to him that you're concerned about his long lunches, that it negatively affect work, and see what his response is. If he does nothing to change things, then mention it to your boss, being sure to say that the co-worker's actions negatively affect your work.

Don't, bring it up with his manager.

[Tinytina09]

I did. She said she’s questioned his avail before too

[TallAnon]

Pressure the manager into action, just talking about it won't help

[Tinytina09]

She ended his contract starting next month.

[TallAnon]

Problem solved

[KaschKarryskype]

Sideshow? Ok, I am so lost...

[Guy13]

Tell your boss.

[Guy13]

Stay out of it or you’ll get fired.

[Tinytina09]

She’s brought it up before to me that I shouldn’t ask him for help and that she’s questioned his availability many times before too.

[Guy13]

That sounds like MYOB. They’ve got it figured out. Maybe those two have a side-show 🎪 going🤷🏻‍♂️

[Tinytina09]

Lmfao no we work remote 😂 no they hate each other

[Guy13]

You are slow with the facts…. As a manager of people, she’s apparently looking out for you then. I would have told you less than she did. Sounds like you are good to go

[Tinytina09]

Oh I thought you meant something sexual by side show
