would you say something to your co-worker

[skim milk]

I have this one on-campus job and I go into my shift right after this one guy
The problem is that everytime I go in, there are 6 of his friends all taking up the space and the place is really tiny. It's like a miniture house party in there every single time I have a shift after this guy
I don't even have a place to sit and my workstation is being used by his friends. There should only be one employee in there (me) when his shift ends... I don't care what he does during his shift but he should get the hell out when his shift is over.
So, I suppose I have the right to kick them all out but that can come off as rude... I like the guy but I just want peace and quiet. I'm not in the mood to socialize and watch stupid clips on youtube

Kick them out, or at least away from your desk. Quit being a pushover.

1) Don't say anything and deal with all the people
2) Say something, and (hopefully) have the problem go away

Passivity doesn't get anything done. Unless he's a complete jerk, he'll understand your plight. Say something like "Hey, I've been really stressed out lately, and I could use some quiet time. Do you think you and your friends could find another place to hang around?"

If he is a complete jerk, well, you'll have to notify someone of higher authority.

Kick them out, but at least attempt to do it politely first ... its a job not a game.

Every now and then you have to be a jerk.

 

[compuwiz1]

the squeaky wheel gets the grease. No speak, problem will not go away. Handle it like a man, but tactfully.
Gentlemen, if you will please excuse me, I have work to do.

See sig.

Campus security + video camera and they can watch themselves on youtube from their dorms.

Just say something to him, he might just not think it is a big deal and will go. If he gets upset about then just go to supervisor and let them know you need him gone when his shift is over.
