How do you tell a fellow co-worker, who has worked there longer, to work a little harder?

Nunya B: How do you tell a fellow co-worker, who has worked there longer, to work a little harder?
I have a fellow co-worker who seems to think that because he has been working there for a couple of years, he doesn’t have to work as hard. We both share the same job description, and I work very hard and have for nearly a year. He shows up, yes, but as far as putting any effort into the work, he thinks he doesn’t have to put much in. I have subtly tried to motivate him, but it hasn’t worked. How would you handle this?

I wouldn’t – that’s his boss’ job, not yours. You do your work – that’s all you’re being paid to do.

It not your job or your place to do this to anyone. Have you seen both sides of the situation?
