Yes, gone within a few days of my leave. Boss actually call me up to ask when I can come back, I was perplexed as I thought I already told him. Later on, he told me he was leaving hence the urgency. He did try to "establish" some sort of relationship throughout the time. I don't know how is your work place, but we are pretty technical in our department, so even with good relationship if you don't deliver you get into trouble. I just stop helping him as much, keep my work separate, if he needs help, CC my boss and spread what he can't do to my other colleague. Problem solve, for a moment I thought he would be "entrenched", me taking a leave and this happened shows that you need to plan to use your annual leave wisely.

Go Kevin 13!!!!

Is he gone? Good for you. Unfortunately, my place still have a dumb blonde earning close to $150k but have backing from a superior. It is OK, the backer will be retiring, but trying to to move her to a more secured position. Difficult!

When people are not matched to their job, it is quite stressful for everyone. If this Burmese is good at building relationships and has the smarts, he still stand a chance and move to a non-technical area while keeping his job. Otherwise, he will be "isolated" and fade away eventually. Not many people have a thick hide like Julia Gillard.

Actually, JG managed to get a few things done correctly in the public service before she turned toxic.
