This new employee started working in my office this week and I find it really awkward to deal with him. He has something called strabismus, which means he kind of looks cross-eyed. It's annoying to look at him.

It sounds like this has been difficult for you to deal with and you may find our Strategies for Effective Communication handout helpful. You could also mention to the employee gently that you noticed he has strabismus and reassure him that it’s okay and doesn't affect how he communicates or performs the job duties. You could also mention that his coworkers may be a bit distracted by it at first, so it would be helpful if he could let them know of the situation and help them understand better.
