Arrogant people often thrive when surrounded by an audience. If you try to confront them in the moment, they may actually enjoy it.
If you work in teams, consider splitting up assignments so everyone can work individually.
This is a good strategy in the short term, but it’s not a great long term solution.
You could say something like, “We need to talk about your attitude around the office. I’ve noticed some comments you make to other employees, and you can sometimes sound a little arrogant. I need you to work on your relationship with your coworkers so the workplace can stay friendly and professional. ”
If you notice that they still need to change, you can offer constructive feedback if you think it might help. Keep track of your meetings so you have a clear record of this employee’s behavior.
Firing someone is an extreme solution, so make sure you try other methods before jumping to that one.
