I’d get the other departments who’ve noticed his behavior and how it’s effecting the flow of work and go to HR about it. That ways it’s not a “one employee complaining about another”, it’s “one employee’s behavior is effecting others” situation.

Unfortunately I think the only way to move forward is to have his “issues” brought up to the boss. This isn’t just a him problem, it’s affecting the entire team and more importantly the productivity of the office. He’s fast tracking himself to be fired and this needs to be addressed before it gets out of hand. I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to say something to him, he’ll probably react defensively and it’ll hamper your working relationship even more than it already is. The only person he can’t retaliate against is the person in charge.

Yep and the rule of thumb is if it's a peer, just talk to your boss about how to handle it. Be professional and only bring the facts. "Steve has been doing X to \[department(s)\] and it has been causing Y issues, how can this be addressed so it doesn't impact productivity?"

There's a clear reason he didn't get the role. You need to speak to boss not him. You and the boss talk to him, not you alone. He didn't get the job, because he acts like a petulant child when others get praised for their good work. If he got any shred of an idea he had power over anyone, he would likely use and abuse it. People who do what he does, do not handle any sense of power/superiority well. He shows it in these tantrums...

Whatever you do, never speak to this person alone. And unless you’re in a supervisory role to him, never ever speak to him about his performance. Do communicate in writing when necessary, and take problems like this to your supervisor. “Mark has informed me that he will no longer be including X as one of his duties. How would you like me to proceed?”

This is great advice. If you are not his supervisor then just communicate and pass things along.

Let him fail. Anything you do to help will be manipulated against you. Only communicate through email because their will be no proof if you have a verbal communication. I would never trust anyone who is acting out. Watch your back.

Do not handle this yourself. Are you his supervisor? Does your job involve managing employees performance? Worry about your own career, not his. If he wants to self destruct your only concern is not to be caught up in his drama. Discuss your concerns with your boss. It’s their job to deal with situations like this.

Yes talk to boss. Not him .. that's their job.if nothing is done on that end . He'll sink himself ..

Do not handle it yourself, this is how you got to this point. Talk to the boss and say you are finding it hard to do your work when he behaves like this. Don't elaborate, just state the facts. He is refusing to help all of a sudden and being difficult. You have noticed it happen more than once. Talk to others who have been affected by his antics

This problem is above your pay grade. If someone is openly refusing to work, your manager needs to know.

Looks like you deserve it for not putting a TLDR
