No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Others have mentioned talking to the boss or HR.
Can you make a request to move away from him?
Probably not I'm the team lead and he's part of my team.
I would suggest documenting his behaviour for a day or two and taking it up with your supervisor to have a meeting for the three of you where you lay out the issue.
If his work is acceptable and it is only his behaviour stress that in the meeting.
How well he will take the criticism is another matter.
I can't emphasize how much this is the answer. Document your annoyances, document other peoples complaints, document the times you have tried discussing it it with him, and document how he responded. Document the fuck out of everything, because if you are his supervisor, this is going to blow up in your face no matter what you do and you need to be building yourself a blast shield asap. This guy is obviously very manipulative and portrays himself as the victim. When the shit finally hits the fan, he is going to sling it everywhere, and as your direct report, it's going to pile in your lap.
When you take it up the chain, you don't even have to take it up as a complaint. Ask for help and guidance in a situation that you fear is going to go bad. You have a guy who is a really good worker, but you fear his antics are going to run off other employees, or even worse, result in HR complaints.
True true, I'm going to start with a meeting with me him and the supervisor. I don't think he is maliciously manipulative if that makes any sense. He just genuinely gets sad when when someone doesn't find him funny or he annoyed someone and I don't think he ever learned to how to properly handle being sad.
