I work with this one elderly coworker who is literally a moron and a chatterbox. He loves talking regardless who it is - clients, coworkers, random telemarketing guys, recruiters, you name it, he doesn't need a reason to start blabbing. He tells them all his life story. Even the recruiter calling for an ex-employee reference gets to listen to what he did over the weekend. He just walks into my cube every time he is bored and starts some random conversation out of the blue regardless I am busy or not. Today he did the same while I was working on something really important for the client. I told him I am busy and will continue the topic at a later time. He will leave and in 10 minutes he is back with a different story. I repeated the same, the moron is back in another 15 minutes and started blabbing again. Finally, I told him that I am really busy, I need to focus, so quit interrupting me and he just stormed out.
How do you deal with this kind of people at workplace? I work for a small business company with only 6 employees, so it's hard to avoid these type of personalities nor argue with them. But unless you are straight out on their face this guy won't gets it.Literally a moron. If I give him indirect cue that he's being annoying, he immediately asks - What does that suppose to mean? I deal with this on a daily basis.
We don't have HR and the boss lives out of state. So anything goes in the office and he's senior employee here though most of the time he doesn't have a clue what's going on with any work related issues.
