Complaining to a boss about a colleague

Dialogue Conversation between Boss and Employee

Aman: Good morning, Sir! May I have a word with you if you are free?

Boss: Good morning, Aman! Please take your seat. Just give me a minute while I finish this phone call.

Aman: No problem sir.

Boss: Well, yes. What’s bothering you, Aman? Is everything alright?

Aman: Not really, Sir. It’s my colleague Pratham who is creating some issues for me. I understand we work together, but he seems to have a problem whenever something is said to him. He never finishes on time, and this affects my work too. He argues when I ask him about it.

Boss: It is an issue, I agree. I shall have a word with him. Let me also see what he has to say about you too. Please understand that we are here for a professional purpose. Try to handle things to the best of your ability before bringing them to me.

Aman: I agree, Sir, but this needs your assistance.

Boss: That’s fine. Let me see what I can do about it. You may go now.

Aman: Thank you, and have a good day, Sir!
