Chances are you have a few co-workers who you really like, but who also get on your nerves. While it’s easy to head straight to human resources when it’s someone you don’t like who’s slacking off, choosing how you approach the same situation with a friend is a lot more difficult. Here are a few ideas for how to approach a situation where you need to complain, but don’t want to get someone in trouble.
