A co-worker is undermining you. Currently, he is at a less senior position than you in the company and hasn't been working there for long. However, he is better educated than you and is also considered a fast learner. You know from a third party that he is interested in taking over some of your responsibilities.
What would you do? Choose the BEST option.
You wait to see how things develop; at the moment this information is merely hearsay.
You call your co-worker in for a talk. You explain that cooperation is an essential feature of any workplace and tell him you believe both of you can learn from one another. If he refuses to understand you take more serious steps.
You do not want to take any chances with such issues. You report the matter to your supervisor and advise him to consider replacing your co-worker.
Since you do not want to make a "big deal" out of the issue, you ask a third party to intimate to your co-worker that his behaviour is unacceptable.
