How can I make my annoying coworker go away?

/

One of my colleagues seems unable to separate my duties from his own. “Henry” constantly interferes with my work and makes critical comments about the way I do my job. When I offer friendly explanations for my decisions, he dismisses them by saying “that’s just your opinion”. Henry and I work in different areas, but have overlapping responsibilities. Although his constant meddling is driving me crazy, I’m not sure how to address this or with whom. We report to the same manager, but I haven’t discussed this issue with him. Any advice?

Newly Promoted Manager – How To Start Off On The Right Foot With The Colleague You Got The Job Over

As the manager of a newly-formed team, I am concerned about my most senior team member. “Stephanie” also applied for the manager position, but I was chosen instead.  I have avoided meeting with her one-on-one because I don’t believe I owe her an explanation for my promotion.  Now I’m afraid Stephanie may be trying to undermine my authority and turn the team against me.  How should I handle this?

My Boss Is Having An Affair & I Work With His Wife – How To Handle Inappropriate Work Relationships

The owner of our small business appears to be having an affair.  “Barry’s” office is about ten feet from my desk and the door is always open, so I hear everything he says.  For the past month, Barry has been having highly suggestive phone conversations with a woman whom he apparently sees in the evenings or on weekends.
