My coworker said he was annoyed with me for doing my job as I should, do you think this is normal?

to report to my manager I need to make sure he's done the day's work and I have to email him every morning asking if there are any problems. And he told me he was tired of me sending him emails every morning, he answered to me, you are deflecting the subject. Wtf... I said him, do I need to act according to your feelings in order to handle my responsibilities? what do you think about his complaint

You got things wrong, he should send you a message if something extra needs to be done. You only need to confirm you get these when they come so he knows you are on the tasks. Otherwise follow your standing orders. You shouldn't micro manage your manager.

The source of the problem is he's not reporting anything.
he doesn't even tell me when there is a problem because he doesn't want the manager to know. he is so lazy that a few times things have been disrupted because of him..

[Adam1978]

Not your problem. If someone comes to you, about something you haven't done and he hasn't told you about it. Say as it is. He will eventually get in problem, don't try to save himself from himself. Let him self-destruct. That open up his position if you want it then.

I think you are too good at the job , compared with him anyhow.

[Asker]

thank you.. He's really lazy, and because he can't screw things up the way he wants, he gets annoyed that I'm controlling him..

[molonski2]

Maybe , just let him Fck things up on his own :)

Workplace confusion is difficult to survive in. Hope you all get in the same team.
